Hammer the Hammerhead Shark

It was a wonderful day in the Great Barrier Reef in the year of 1609. The sun was warm and filtered beautifully through the water.  Hammer the hammerhead shark was very hungry, so he went to look for his favorite food, fish!  But he couldn't find any fish which is unusual because the Great Barrier Reef contains many fish. Hammer got hopping mad. Then he saw his best's friends McHam and Brian. They, too, where hopping mad since they couldn't find any fish.  They decide to split up and look for fish. They headed in different directions.  Hammer swam towards deeper water.  Suddenly, he saw a rope in the water.  There were fish on it.  He was excited.  He would finally be able to eat. So very carefully he chewed the fish off  the rope.  All of a sudden, out of the corner of his eye,  he saw a human swimming at him.  He couldn't believe his luck!  There was more food and it was coming straight at him.  He swam for the human.  As Hammer got closer he saw a flash of light.  The human had a weapon.  Hammer circled around and charged the swimming human.  He tried to bite with his enormous mouth but missed.  He felt intense pain in his belly.   He couldn't swim.  He couldn't move.  He sank to the bottom of the ocean and gasped one last breath.
