I was bitten…
…hard at the back of my neck.
I could sense the potent smell of blood drifting to stain my face. I thought that I would not survive right then, but I tried thrashing around and sank my nails into the thing that hugged my waist. That thing behind me retreated not long after. I scrambled to go up in a hurry. My heart was pounding hard. I quickly retreated to the other side of the fence on the walkway and tightly grasped the bleeding cut on the back of my neck.
It was both burning and stinging. The saltwater added to the pain, filling my eyes with tears. I did not know what had bitten me. It was just as strong as a shark's teeth. I was also wearing a white shirt, so drops of blood flowed all over me, dying me. My body trembled in fear.
I asked myself what bit me.
