In the centre of this vast, and yet empty city, there stands a tower of stone. The cracks suggest that it is of a hardy nature, able to withstand severe weather conditions, although the day is mild. The whole structure throbs with an unexplained electricity.

There is a scent of salt in the breeze, there is a beach nearby. It may well be a safe place to swim today, but at night the sharks know no fear, and everything fears them.

There are sharks?

There are always sharks of some description, but if you are cautious, you will see their shadows approaching, although they are not always of the same shape.

I totally didn't know there were sharks. Thanks, man. I was going to go swimming out there.

In the daylight, they will fear the hunters and stay out from the clean, white sand. It is only in the dark that you should feel any fear. In the day you can stare them dead in the face and they will fear you.

Are you some kind of shark tickler or something?

I've faced down sharks, though I admit it is much better to have the Force at my side when I do.

I believe it. I have always maintained that a woman is as strong as a man in courage.

Machines don't, but they aren't programmed for fear even if they were vulnerable to sharks.

Machines cannot threaten the sharks, they are generally incapable of entering the ocean without finding themselves irreparably damaged.

Terminators could, but they would need a reason to go into the water to begin with.

Count yourself lucky. They were developed for one thing and one thing only: to kill humans. Damned hard to kill.

Oh no, not that. I mean.

I had to read The Old Man and the Sea in High School. And I've always loved The Sun Also Rises.

Well, good for you. I've never heard of the first, surprisingly. And The Sun Also Rises- it is unfinished, so your definition of 'always' is a little off. Who let you read it? Gertrude? You think it is as good as my first? Does it speak true?

Well, you wrote it. Or...will write it. Eventually.

Um, no. I got it at the library. And it's my favorite of all your works.
