[100 word horror fiction] The lifeguard

fought against the tide; it was twilight and he almost did not see the bobbing swimmer.

Grasping the swimmer, the lifeguard was puzzled. The flesh of the swimmer was slimy & scaly. The swimmer’s features – the face, hands and feet – were humanoid, yet devoid of significant details.

A gigantic fish, with enormous eyes, black and lifeless, erupted from the water. The last image the lifeguard saw, before being engulfed by rows of needlelike teeth, was a filament extending from the forehead of the fish, ending in the fleshy humanoid thing that had lured him into the open sea.
