Poor Unfortunate Soul

One

This is a tale of a girl with a tail, which ended the girl with a pretty terrible fate. You've probably heard this story before, but this is in the eyes of another. Me.

You might know me as the wretched woman who cursed the child, but it's not really like that at all. I just try to help people. And I do, too. I'm really good at it. I'm a kind person if you want to get to know me. But I doubt you'd want to know me after I had my reputation ruined.

I got banished because I helped one merman get rid of his receding hairline, but he couldn't pull his end of the favour. My guide cursed him. And then he reported me.

But I don't see how I did anything wrong. Like I said before, I only help people.

For example, a girl wants to be skinnier. I'll give it to her, quick snap of the tentacles, she's got it. But she has to, for example, give me her gorgeous locks afterward, as payment. I don't want it personally, of course, it's required for my Master.

But I can't do anything to help their case if they don't deliver the payment. If they don't want to pull their end of the bargain, then that's their choice. They signed a contract saying that they would, and if they didn't they would have to suffer the consequences accordingly.

A couple words of advice: always read the fine print.

Yeah, you might have guessed it by now. I'm Ursula, but I'm more popularly known as the Sea Witch. And this is the story of the little mermaid.
