I'm a Sinking Shark

Hammerhead is a runt!

Why can’t I be nothing?

North sea is wild, even the toughest of the military navy fears being in the North Sea.

I don’t fear, because I’m a sinking tiger shark, I sink in the depth of waters. North Sea doesn’t care about me at all, because there are 100’s of the likes of me. We sink and rise everyday.

I never called myself “Tiger Shark”, but these non-sensical humans updated our Aquarius Dictionary DB once, and since then the likes of me are called “Tiger Sharks”. “Elijahhhh, can you stop for a while ? I’m trying to write”.

I meet hammerhead often, he’s very naive and negligent sometimes. We rarely meet but I like that chap. We once went to NYWC (The New York Water Current) for exploring. I really went to explore the current, but hammerhead, ma boi kept peeping at beautiful sharkies all the time. It was so honestly embarrassing to be with him. The current is quite fast in my honest opinion. The buildings are so high rise and they appear very gelatinous when you touch them.

Once, I met with a very fun instance. I was just passing around the North Sea and I was racing in full speed in the deep waters and my head suddenly hit to something very hard. It was quiet dark in my surrounding, so along with the hard thing, I started swimming upwards to see what in the aqua world was this thing. And, just as I had guessed it was again, the humans intervening our homes with these massive under-water floating buildings called Oil Rigs.

This is quite common in most of the seas, especially, in the North Sea. The depths of North Sea often have a lot natural gases, hydrocarbons and is a very rich reserve for collecting oil. When I was only 8 years old, I once stumbled upon the Ekofisk which is a very famous oil rig. Back then, I was really fascinated by how these humans got to the surface of the north sea and built the rig. I used to think, there might not have been any water when they did this, but I was dumb. After reading some information on the Aquapedia, I found out that these massive rigs actually are floating in the water, specifically off-shore rigs. It’s really fascinating.

I once sank very badly in the NYWC, it was because of an octopus. My guy had started sprinkling his ink every where and I couldn’t just control my movements in the water and ended up going quite deep in my heart of wilderness. I really felt very lonely down there. Oftentimes, I love my loneliness, it eats you up. It is similar to a Megalodon opening its mouth wide open and I happily walk inside. It’s so so fun. Ofcourse, I don’t get eaten by the Megalodon, I quickly come out from the side flaps from where we fishes take air in. Megalodon’s are dumb, and slow at times when they’re very big. I can fool them easily, because I’m a “TIGER SHARK”.

I did not know that I’m a Tiger Shark until humans updated the Aquarius DB. Before that, I kept on impersonating different fishes and thought that I’m a different kind of shark every day, or perhaps, I did not think or know that I’m particularly a shark at all. I just knew how to sink and how to get to on the surface wavering my fin vertically.

I sometimes observe hammerhead and Elijah, they’re weird to be very honest. Both of them can’t feel full with small fishes for their Lunch and Dinner. They dream of eating some parts of Megalodon. I can’t honestly do that, I just want to dive, sink and surface my fin above to the humans.
