A kidnapped mermaid, a heartbroken traveler, a circus sideshow, a rescue, a grotto, and loss. A lovely story of longing and fantasy and things we cannot have. This short story is taken from my first collection of stories "I Do So Worry For All Those Lost At Sea", now available in paperback. https://www.amazon.ca/Worry-All-Those-Lost-Sea/dp/0978454340All Rights Reserved
