My gills on my tail have stopped moving, I now feel my lungs working now, I can smell salt in the air and I can taste it so fresh on my lips, when your underwater for so long you can't taste the salt anymore, the same way humans can't taste the air.
Washing up on to the shore the sand tatters my arm because my frail supple skin that has been underwater so long, carefully I drag myself away from the water, to get on to the dry sand. Time is going slowly and I can't feel myself transforming, maybe it is a lie that mermaids can grow legs, so it makes it easier for humans to catch them so they can come out of the water instead of them finding us themselves. I feel so dry and so thirsty, I can't keep my eyes open for much longer. I try to crawl back in to the sea but I am too weak, then everything blacks out.
Stars... I look upwards at the sky; my world is spinning. I can't feel my tail anymore, it is like a weight has been lifted off of me. I peered down at my torso and there it was, my legs! I stretch them out and tugged at the things that stick out my... my... feet! Gasping as I watch myself stand and stumble around on my legs. I turn towards the islands front and stumble and sometimes tumble towards the trees in the distance.
