eaking seductively to late-night listeners in between playing your favorite jareat
Sodrunk and having a good tiet an older wo, twenty-two as I later found out, and he was so goddaed in an instant The look on his face was pure agony as the shark leapt up fro in its mouth Then there was blood Blood everywhere
Music died down as the song came to an end and it was ti to her audience Yet, she found herself at a loss for words
Who gives a shit aboutAnthony won’t hear it any song
Sylvia had been on a party barge off the coast of Queensland, Australia when it happened College kids were getting wasted as the sun began to set Her best friend, Penny, had told her earlier that day she wasboyfriend It seemed absurd Sylvia had met shifters in the past She’d dated a wolf for about a h hiical Of course, she’d believed her friend, but she hadn’t given it enough thought when she’d stepped onto that floating drunken frenzy
That fucking song
Brian was staring at her and that rabbed theher voice to the masses
“Hot damn those uel followed by ‘Redbone’ by Childish Gaoodie…oldie ht? Here’s Az Yet with ‘Last Night’ But first, a quick word from one of our sponsors”
She got the co, and leaned back in her chair Her head throbbed Before the trip to Australia, she never had headaches, but now it seeet fucked and fucked really well She was convinced that was the problem She hadn’t had sex since she’d fucked one of her sponsors on the trip He was great in bed, but he wasn’t boyfriend h a h to be hers
The song froh herversion of Madonna’s Hey Mr DJ It had never been one of her favorites, but the DJ’s revaood She was half drunk when it played, and she sang along, surprising herself that she actually knew all the words The screa Soon the wooden deck, and she could still feel the rocking of the barge, the way it bucked and jostled around as underwater monsters tried to topple it

“You kind of dropped the ball a o,” he said “You need me to take over?”
Having hiive up and call it quits Her listeners demanded more than the silly soft sounds he liked to play Easy listening, as much as she’d tried toby Christopher Cross didn’t fit well sandwiched between R Kelly and Maxwell Justin Bieber didn’t belong beside J Cole She hated even considering letting her audience down Yet, she couldn’t get her head back in the game Ever since she’d left Australia, she’d felt like a part of herself was still there The sane part The part that was fun loving and carefree So in Australia’s ware deck, still terrified of the sharks If Penny was here, she’d feel so much better She missed her friend and feared for her safety She was out there so close to that water That ocean of blood
The worst part was she didn’t even kno to get ahold of Penny She was on Shamrock Island, she knew that much, but where the fuck was Shamrock Island?
