'Occupational Hazard' by Lucienne Cummings


Helen pulls her gloved hand out of the sink. Poking the dishes with a ladle, she can't see what has sliced through the thick rubber and into her flesh. She goes to the bathroom to find a bandage, and on her return finally notices the tiny fin lazily circling the basin.

‘Not again,’ she sighs, reaching for her bottle of Shark Away.
