Then, the splash got a little louder and a little closer. A fish. A little louder and a little closer. A fish. Little louder, little closer. She pulled her feet up, just in case, but she was sure that it was just a fish. Louder, Closer. Too close. A chilled gasp rattled her. Her wide eyes were fixated on something that just barely rose out of the water. That was most certainly not a fish! It looked far too fleshy and orange to be a fish. Fish weren't in flesh tones, were they? She had certainly never seen or heard of any that were. She scooted a little closer, the curious little fiend she was. She kneeled with her hands on her knees, a little shaky, and peered into the water. Nothing happened at first and she felt her stomach drop in disappointment. What if the creature had left? Sure, she didn't think it was the fabled mermaid, but it was certainly something. She leaned back with a sigh. She finally saw something of substance and she lost it. She blew a raspberry and pouted down at the water that was frustratingly still. She thought that was the end of it. Later she would wish that it had been. Cover by: @Joyce-HoranAll Rights Reserved
