"We who make stories know that we tell lies for a living. But they are good lies that say true things, and we owe it to our readers to build them as best we can. Because somewhere out there is someone who needs that story. Someone who will grow up with a different landscape, who without that story will be a different person. And who with that story may have hope, or wisdom, or kindness, or comfort.
And that is why we write."

Drunken man jumps on shark's head, kills it
[Reworded for clarity and emphasis added for fucking badassery]
Dragan Stevic of Serbia is a new Egyptian hero who accidentally killed a large shark that had previously terrorized numerous tourists (killing one and injuring four) at the Egyptian resort Sarm El Sheikh.
Milovan Ubirapa, a friend of Stevic’s who witnessed the incident, explained that Dragan had decided to go to the beach for a swim after a long night of drinking. As Dragan and his friends approached the beach, they found a high dive at the water’s edge.
“Dragan climbed on the jumping board, told me to hold his beer and simply ran to jump; there was no time for me to react or to try to stop him, he just went for it,” Milovan said. “Dragan jumped high and plunged down to the sea, but didn’t make as much splash as we thought he would.”
The reason could be because Stevic ended up jumping straight on a shark that was lurking near the beach, landing right on its head and killing it instantly. The Egyptian police found the shark washed out on the beach that morning.
Stevic was able to swim to the shore and told his friends he had twisted his ankle, telling them the water was not that soft. The water is soft buddy, you just landed on a shark.
At the moment, the fearless hero is in a hospital recovering from alcohol poisoning. After Dragan gets well, he will get a chance to have some more drinks as the resort had awarded the Serb tourist with a free vacation for his heroic deed.
