Her lethal opalescence

A Mako shark cuts through rippling dark water. Shaded currents lapping against grey skin. Her tail whips around, skittish in the darkness of an unknown realm. She languidly glides her body, a rhythmic pulse, like my heart as I watch her. A smoky flash, bright against a shadowy canvas. Streaks of blinding light stab the stormy sky. Waves turn choppy as she races through the deep sea. A shiver flows through my spine as I reminisce old nightmares. She opens her jaw, showcasing starry blades. A lethal beauty trapped in a never ending darkness.
