‘The Great White was a man-eater, terrorising a small beach town. Three days at sea before I found her. Dragged my boat for fifty miles.’

‘Now the Orca. He was a tough old bastard. Almost took my boat. Did take half my leg,’ the old man tapped his wooden stump. ‘After him I decided to quit and open the restaurant.’

I took a bite of the wonderful seafood linguine.

‘And the skeleton?’ I pointed to the strange decoration, smiling.

‘Old Roger? He was my first customer when I opened. Easiest catch I ever made.’ He returned my smile.

I gulped.
