Among a small pod of merpeople in the Gulf of Mexico is a young mermaid named Adonia.  Having just turned 18, Adonia will soon be ready to join her sisters in the choosing of a mate, a ritual that occurs once every five years.  Like all mermaids she has lived a simple life, forbidden from making contact with the surface world.

Jason Stryker is an Olympic swimmer with 9 gold medals to show for his efforts.  At 26 years old, he finds himself seeking a way to start a new chapter in his life.  Owning beachfront property and dating models should be enough to make him happy, but he finds himself seeking something more.

That is until one summer night , when Jason spots the beautiful Adonia watching him from the sparkling waves of the Gulf.

The woman stopped and looked towards him over her shoulder. She was by no means calm, but her demeanor appeared to lighten up ever so slightly. The faint outline of a smile began to form on her bright pink lips.

Then Jason saw it. Emerging from the water to the right of the woman's shoulder was what appeared to be a fish tail. However, it wasn't like any fish tail he'd ever seen. It was large enough to be a dolphin's tail, but it sparkled and had a light blue color, the same color as the woman's eyes. Following it through the water, suddenly Jason realized that it appeared to be attached to the woman's waist.

No it can't be he thought to himself. He resolved he had to be dreaming, or maybe hallucinating. For the next minute or so he blinked and squinted, believing that if he just refocused his eyes he'd come back to reality, but as he opened them again, he only saw more clearly what he knew he'd seen before.

A Mermaid for the Lonely by jessisme123

A mermaid named Sirène, whose job as a mermaid is to guide those who have died at sea to rest their souls and not be trapped. She typically finds sailors whose ships have sunk, and pirates and convoys alike. Her personality is one of seriousness, and she does not express herself by facial expressions very often. She does sung lovely tunes though, ones of the sea and winds, not ones meant to lure anyone to their doom. She seldom spends time with other merfolk and prefers to be on her own. She is however very curious of the various emotions humans possess and their intensity, since she does not feel these. One day, while Sirène was staying near Pointe de Pen Hir, a dangerous cliffside that plunges right into the ocean. Looking upwards by chance, she saw a human, a man, standing dangerously near the edge of the rocks. The wind blew harshly and she could only watch and wait as he toppled over the edge and feel towards the ocean. She saw no fight in him as he fell. ________________________________________________________________ This is a fantasy story with my mermaid OC that I started making back when I was in middle school. I've used her character to help me through tough times and I am revisiting her. I want to make sure I have a place to remember her story, and make it a happier one than before.

Waveborn by CherylReifsnyder

Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.
