Merrick left years ago. He promised you to return home soon. But he hasn’t. And it is hard to get letters to him

All you’ve been able to do is hope that he is alive. But a part of you feels a dread that when the ship returns you’ll see his casket with a flag

But the ship has finally returned

You watched as casket after casket was pulled from the ship. Your heart pounded, praying none of them was Merrick

He was you childhood best friend. And your true love. He promised to propose to you when he got back. But what if he never comes back

As you watched the line of caskets in far you heard a throat clear just behind you

There he was. Merrick. Alive and smiling no less

“Hey, sea bunny”
