The last shark attack on Cape Cod, in which a man was swimming far out, occurred at the beach half a mile south of here, in 2012. When I was a girl, it was unusual to see a seal on these beaches. Now the beaches are full of seals. It’s global warming, ran the bright ribbon of rumor, like an advertisement pulled by a plane in the sky along the beach. It’s global warming, I thought to myself, the shark bite. The seals are moving northward, the sharks come in for them. Like many things that seem like answers, the truth is elsewhere.
