The Killer Mermaid

Once upon a time, under the sea in Socioland, there was a beautiful woman named Ariel...

She wasn't normal. She had fins instead of legs and the same specialized lungs whales. So she could dive deep and stay down for long periods of time. She was not what everyone always pictured when they hear "mermaid". She looked a bit like a dolphin but had the head and torso of a human. If you could only see her top half, you would suspect her to be a human, other than the fact that her skin was grey. Ariel was 16 years of age. She lived in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Atlantic City, NJ.

Ariel was, as some would say, a collector... of EVERYTHING. She collected anything she could find in the deep blue sea that could possibly be touched by a human being. She was obsessed. The other mer-people thought she was one of "those hoarders". You know, the people who everyone knows that are just plain awkward to be around because of their junk. Her best friend was a fish, named Flounder. Flounder was only half as weird as Ariel and shared her obsession with human artifacts.

Whenever they found a supposed human-touched object, they would bring it up to the surface to Scuttle, a know-it-all seagull. Scuttle always gave them fake information. He really was never sure what the objects were.

One day, while swimming around with flounder, they found a, what we call a fork, and brought it up to Scuttle. He said that the fork was really a dinglehopper that was used to comb hair.

With that new information, she brought it back to the palace to show her father and Sebastian. When she showed Sebastian, he absolutely flipped. He tried to take the dinglehopper from Ariel and in the midst of their wrestling over the cheap metal fork; it was jabbed in Sebastian the crab's neck. When Ariel realized, she started to twist the fork in Sebastian's neck as one would twirl spaghetti onto a fork. She started to enjoy spinning the life out of him. When he was completely dead, she ripped the fork out and went to find her dad.

When she found him, she killed him the same way. Afterwards, she killed her sister, Georgina. Now she was officially a serial killer. She continued killing, now at a slower pace. She killed only one a day, then once a week, then a month and so on.

Once everyone had been killed, she realized that killing the people of Socioland hadn't been the solution to give payback to the mer-people for teasing her. She was all alone now. She killed her best friend last. If she had kept her collection to a bare minimum and went out to be with people then she probably wouldn't have had to come to this dark, dark decision. She had decided to kill herself because of the bad person she had turned out to be.

THE END

...or is it?
