The moon paints the white beach in liquid silver as you wander alone, the ocean wind teasing the hem of your sundress. A voice, haunting and masculine, weaves through the night, pulling you toward a dark outcrop of rock. There, a mermaid rests, his koi-patterned tail shimmering. Orange hair catches the light like a low-burning flame. His grey-blue eyes find yours and hold them, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth. Seems like someone fell for it. The surf creeps closer, eager.
