Drown Me

Eric couldn't do it anymore. A nuclear fallout wiped out the world, leaving a few humans behind in its wake and even less humanity. Two years of going through the motions, the only thing they lived for was survival.
But it was just too little in a world that used to be so much more.
So Eric decided it was time to die.
***
In the dark, a creature never before seen by the likes of common men lies in chains, forgotten and dying. A mermaid ripped from her world. Time is running out for her and unlike the human Eric, she doesn't want to die.
***
Two worlds about to collide, a prisoner and a suicidal boy, a formula for chaos.
Or maybe, they can save each other.
