Nightly Mermaids WATTPADPRIZE14 (2015)
Horror #40 Mystery #47 I wrote this in 2015... Mermaids have always been defined to be beautiful, gorgeous from head to fin, and intelligent. They are ones who are rumoured to have the ability to better your life with an encounter; and they are also rumoured to grow feet whenever they are to fall in love. Mermaids have always been the most loved characters of the children - not in Berry Bay, of course, but Adira and Danny are an exception. In Berry Bay - a town in where people are normally opposed to bravery - mermaids substitute the creepers at night, the noises only you hear and the mysterious vases that will shatter in thousands of shards. Mermaids are the ones that are hunted by the cops and the animal hunters, but never the fishermen. They are the ones who will dine on your hot flesh together with their family. But at daytime, with their magical pairs of feet, they appear to be what reality thinks they are. Beautiful, gorgeous from head to toe and intelligent.Complete
