The Plot:

A man stares angrily into the ocean while standing on his boat. His crew, just awakening, stares at him. They always knew their Captain was a hard man to get along with, but somehow, he is different today. His eyes look as if he is ready for a final confrontation. Confrontation with what? Nobody knows.


Suddenly the Captain plunges at the ocean, harpoon in his hand. The crew thought he was out to hunt large fishes, which was helped when blood mixed with the water a few minutes later. The crew waited for the Captain to resurface and brag about his prize. He did emerge after a few minutes, only he was lifeless. Dead.

The Hanger:

With their Captain dead, the crew needs to go back to the shore safely and inform his family of his passing. But they have one problem, a giant shark plans to eat them for breakfast.
