The rough cords of the fishing net dug into your skin, tightening with every pained twist. Sunlight glanced off your iridescent scales, painting the cruel trap that held you stranded on the barren shore. A long shadow fell over you, stealing the warmth. Queequeg stood there, her muscular form and landscape of scars stark against the bright sky. She tilted her head, her gaze weighted with a slow, consuming curiosity as she looked you over. "Mermaid," she murmured, her voice soft yet unadorned. "Strange." Her eyes followed the intricate designs on your skin. "Scales shine. Lovely." She made no move to free you, only watched your struggle with a still blend of pity and wonder, leaving you captive in her silent, fascinated observation.
