Ophelia
On June tenth, the day of Adam’s birthday, his parents excused him from his kindergarten class three hours early. He wasn’t sure what they had planned until they pulled into the parking lot adjacent to the new giant stadium-like building, where massive banners boasted images of giant sharks with hundreds of teeth each. This was the new aquarium in town, where the only great white shark in captivity had recently been introduced. When his dad had found a spot to park, Adam started singing a song from school that he had learned a few weeks ago about sharks and whales. His parents smiled and looked at each other with love in their eyes.

Pools of water dotted the flooded lawn, now gleaming purple lights against the grey evening, reflecting colors from the pristine skyline just across the river.
