Overconfident

Qannik here. With my commanding lead in fundraising for the Valentines Hearts for The Herd Contest, I have been very confident around Chez Herd. Maybe slightly overconfident.

Yep – I missed.

Don’t worry, Qannik, your real bragging rights are that you are way in the lead in fundraising for Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation with $333 raised – a huge part of the total $1090 raised so far by our readers. Yes, that is correct, our readers have contributed OVER a thousand dollars and we still have several days to go. You are awesome!

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend

June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.

A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.

Enjoy it your way
