PASSAGE

The house was built on the highest part of the narrow tongue of land between the harbor and open sea. It had lasted through three hurricanes and it was built as a ship. It was shaded by tall coconut palms that were bent by trade wind and on the ocean side you could walk out of the door and down the bluff across the white sand and into the Gulfstream. The water of the Stream was usually dark blue when you looked out at it when there was no wind. But when you walked out into there was just the green light of the water over that floury white sand and you could see the shadow of any big fish a long time before he could ever come in close to the beach.

It was a safe and fine place to bathe in the day but it was no place to swim at night. At night the sharks came in close to the beach, hunting in the edge of the Stream, and from the upper porch of the house on quiet nights you could hear the splashing of the fish they hunted and if you went down to the beach you could see the phosphorescent wakes they made in the water. At night, the sharks had no fear and everything else feared them. But in the day they stayed out, away from clear white sand and if they did come in you could see their shadows a long way away.
