SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

What is one way the narrator connects the present moment to the past?

By describing imagined scenes
By describing the land as if it were food
By including details about the environment
By recounting his youth

There are three days left
Their cat is black
Isn’t it Monday
Help, a clown is chasing me
Do you live in America
Homework is boring
I wonder what time it is
Did she do it
Wow
How many pickled peppers did he pick?
I am too tired
I wonder how far that bus goes
Are you sure that goes there?
I think this may be getting harder
I wonder when this will end

Put that down right now
Which one is yours
I don’t know which one is mine
Do you know how to do this
To whom should I give this
He does his homework; doesn’t he
Don’t shut the door
I’d hate to have not done my homework
Who cares
Africa is not a country; it’s a continent
Wherefore art thou, dear Juliet
There’s a big project due; isn’t there
Leave me alone
I wish I knew what time it was
What a fun assignment
