I regret going to the beach because of what I did. I killed my one and only dog, Max. I really wish I could go back in time. I didn’t mean to kill her.
We were strolling down the beach in the sunny hot weather and the sun was shining into my eyes. Gripping onto my surfboard, I jumped into the salty chilly water with my dog Max. We were breaking waves, goofing around and swimming. During the day the weather started to change into an awful day, the wind started to pick up and we were drifting into the deep wide ocean.
We were about seven miles away from shore and I was feeling terrified. We were in the middle of the ocean losing our mind just a little. I just didn’t know what to do. It started to pour down with rain and Max was drenched. I tried to swim back but it looked like I was swimming in circles. Then I felt something tickle my toes, and Max started to bark. It swam around us and before you knew it, a shark fin appeared. Max jumped off the surfboard and started to bark again. I yelled at him to come back, but he didn’t listen. The shark whizzed and snatched him up into his mouth and Max was dead.
The shark swam away. I saw a pool of blood on the water’s surface. I just wish that this wasn’t real, or hadn’t happened. I just wish I could redeem myself – I should never have taken Max with me.
