I once, many years ago, read a book about a man who was one manifestation of a Polynesian shark deity ... he'd romance a woman and then either drown or eat her (possibly both). There was NOT a happy ending to that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The oral defense for that thesis is sure to draw a crowd.
