Sated the group moved off along the steeply sloping beach, the more experienced members of the tribe wondered where she would led them to next.
A young club slipped on the wet pebbles, soon the youngest members of the tribe were at play, jumping and sliding. A young male found himself standing knee deep in the sea, as he stood still wondering at his new experience. He felt the warmth of the ocean, and saw several fish swimming near his feet. Then he felt the cuff around his ears as their leader called for the tribe to move on. She stood glowering at him so he stepped back, the attack was swift, only he saw the wide open jaw’s and the razor sharp teeth. He screamed as a shower of blooded seawater covered him. Then the tribes leader was gone. For a moment time stood still for the tribe, then the attack started.
Scary stuff. Very absorbing.
Your beach sounds just as scary, traveling in time can be very dangerous it seems
Oh my! Sounds like the leader of the group led them right into a shark attack! Great story.
There was no justice that day, she had been a good leader, then fate played its hand.

Then she didn’t do it on purpose, it was fate. Great story!
Oh dear, a horrific moment for the little one.
It certainly was, I like to think that the tribe survived and grew in knowledge and strength
Well I hope so.
Was this a sort of sacrifice for so many? His death allowed the others to get away? Most interesting Michael.
Sounds like scary ending for the one guy. I wonder why the follow her, if this kind of things happen to them?
It is a rather dangerous time for the scattered tribes of mankind, six thousand BC. She was the brightest and the strongest and knew were to find food,
Interesting take you have there Michael. Nice!!
Thank you, it was a rare follow on episode from a similar prompt picture last week on the Friday Fictioneers site, called [a universal image] Mike
