Stonefish

Beginning
The lead hooks the reader with a narrative opening. In the hot afternoon sun, the coastal ocean’s waves are peaceful. In the coral reef below, everything seems to be completely normal, but a second glance reveals the stonefish. It is hidden so well, in plain sight, that most animals wouldn’t give it a second glance. However, an unsuspecting fish just happens to swim by.

SNAP! In a flash, the fish is gone, and the stonefish has had its dinner.
