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.
Boys will be boys Frankie! Thanks for keeping them in line !
You are a gem Frankie…Love that look on your face..
What a good senior member of the pack you are Frankie!!!! I’m glad the youngsters fell in line so you could avail yourself of the nice meal and AC which of course is inside the house!
