Beach Trip

I was at the beach, just enjoying my time in the sun. I then went out to the ocean to cool off. Suddenly, I could see a fin in the distance. The lifeguard then yelled, “SHARK!”. Hearing this, I ran back to where my beach towel was. I then looked back at the ocean and saw that the “shark” did not look like a shark at all. Instead, it looked like a giant piranha with six eyes and razor-sharp teeth. There was a single fin on its back, and it was also colored gray, which was most likely why the lifeguard thought it was a shark. The piranha then went onto the shore, using its flippers to move around. It seemed to not be harmed by the lack of water at all.

"THAT IS NOT A SHARK," I yelled, pointing at the strange fish! "ALSO, IT SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO SURVIVE OUTSIDE OF WATER!" The fish then went closer to my beach towel. I then packed up my stuff and ran back to my beach house, which was actually a house that I owned and rented out during the summer before staying for the first two weeks of August. I then opened my window, and I then heard a whistle, followed by the lifeguard screaming, "THERE IS A STRANGE FISH OF AN UNKNOWN SPECIES ON THE BEACH! EVERYONE MUST LEAVE THE BEACH IMMEDIATELY!" I then watched as everyone quickly packed up their stuff and left the beach, running back to wherever they were staying.

Just then, the fish went up to the window. I then quickly fetched some spare wood from the backyard and boarded up every window in the house. I then went inside and saw my family, who had just ran inside of the house after the lifeguard evacuated everybody. I then told them, "There is a strange fish outside of our beach house!" My wife then called the landlord who managed the beach houses. "There is a strange fish outside," she said. "My husband had boarded up the windows, and we are looking for assistance with dealing with this strange creature."

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw the landlord. Behind him, the strange fish was in a giant net. Just then, a truck came up to the curb and two men came out, put the fish in the truck, and hauled it away. My landlord then said, "The fish is being taken to the nearest science lab for further research. This is most likely a new species of fish that nobody knew even existed until today." "Thanks for taking care of the fish," I said. "You're welcome", the landlord said as he left.

I then removed the boards from all of the windows and put them back into the backyard. I then noticed that there was a strange tent on the beach labeled MARINE BIOLOGY RESEARCH STATION There was also yellow tape surrounding the tent, and it extended all the way to the wooden pathway between our property and the beach. I could also see a sign near the wooden pathway saying '''The beach is closed until further notice due to the recent discovery of an unknown species of fish. There is currently research being done, and the beach will be opened once the research is completed.''' Me and my family then packed up our bags and drove back to our actual home, and I was a bit disappointed that we had to end our beach trip a week early.
