Cold, Dark, and Sharky

in

Last year, two people were attacked by sharks on Cape Cod, and one died. The result has been a  media frenzy that really you have to see to believe.

But when you look past the headlines, the situation on the Cape seems to boil down to a clash between these two stories we tell ourselves about sharks: is this situation about us learning to live with fear? Or is it about whether it’s possible to get over our fear?
