excerpt from soul surfer, by bethany hamilton
(1) i didnt even scream.
(2) people say to me, \werent you terrified?\ \didnt you think you would be eaten alive?\ i guess that would be the normal reaction, but it wasnt mine. maybe i was in shock or denial; maybe i was on autopilot. im not really sure, but when i look back on it now, im glad of one thing: im glad i never saw the shark closing in on me. im glad i never had more than a split second to wrap my brain around the fact that i was being attacked. if i had, im not sure i would have been so calm. im not sure id be able to live with the nightmares or ever go back in the water again...
