The Jaws Of A Dilemma
After a series of fatal attacks by ANIMAL sharks on swimmers during prime vacation time, a debate has arisen over how to respond to the finned danger.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “My sister was seriously hurt in one of the attacks,” says Mario Perez, waving a surfboard with a large chunk bitten out. “Okay, while that isn’t the worst possible outcome, these ANIMAL sharks are here and are very hungry. We need to properly protect the beaches from them. Guard boats! Shark watchers! Sonic deterrents! It might be expensive, but it’s better than serving us up as a smorgasbord, right?”
2. “Oh, no, no, we can’t have any of this,” pleads local Mayor Clara Vaughn, pulling at your sleeve for attention. “If you so much as mention the s-word, we’ll have panic on our hands at peak holiday season, and cancellations coming out of our ear-holes! We’re a summer town, and we need summer CURRENCY. Tell them it was a boat accident, that it’s a beautiful day and that the beaches are open. Then talk about something else – anything – to distract their attention, and remind them why NATIONSNAME is REGION’s number one tourist destination!”
3. “It’s not the ANIMAL SHARKS that are the problem,” pointedly declares Yoshi Winters, causing the Mayor to wince. “It’s the people! The government should protect the sharks from the beach-goers and industries that steal their food and habitat, forcing them to come closer to humans. The sharks were there first! Just put ‘No Swimming’ signs along the beach.”
4. “These ANIMAL sharks offer us an opportunity,” says Steffan Obama, your Minister of Tourism, poring over plans for oceanfront tourism development. “Think about it. How much are people willing to pay to see sharks up close? It’ll surely attract tons of new visitors to our beaches and aquariums, and we could make a fortune from cage diving. Sure, some people might get chowed upon, but it’s for the experience, you know?”
5. “Seems like you got a shark problem on your hands,” nonchalantly mutters Quant, a rugged fisherman and captain of the Okra, caressing a harpoon gun. “I’ve been fishing on the CITIZEN Bay since before I could walk, I served on the S.S. CAPITAL that sunk. I’ve seen these sharks up close; they’ve got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. I’ll take care of your shark problem, so long as I get paid handsomely. But I’ll need a bigger boat.”
