W. Clay Creswell, Sharks in the Shallows: Attacks on the Carolina Coast

Richard Powers
“A dorsal fin sliced up through the water, then dipped back down again. The wild black tip was underscored with a shock of white. Even a quick looked sufficed. Le Requin à pointes noires. Blacktip reef shark.
"Carcharhinus melanopterus."
The girl came closer to the old woman and asked for the name again. Then she repeated it twice.
"So beautiful, that one. My favorite."
If there were an upper limit to how many favorite fish a girl was allowed to have, neither of them knew it. Together, their hands animated all the ways that a reef shark floated through the communities that it lorded over.
Beaulieu caught herself. "What is the Mā'ohi name?"
The girl's face lit up with expertise. "We call that one ma'o ereere, Miss Evie.”
Richard Powers, Playground
