I sat down the edge of the bassin, throwing food in the water with my usual morning laziness. The day was scrotching hot and only just started, this was clearly bound to be one hell of a long workshift.

I worked in the Cruise boat's aquarium, feeding all those fishes all day. It was long, but those fishes were cute, and I'm sure they liked me.

I got up to grab another bag of food but noticed I hadn't brang it along. I left the bassin and went to the storage room, passing by the mermaid pool in the way

She was sitting on a rock, looking unsatisfied and lonely, like every morning before the opening. I leaned on the glass wall and threw a snack at her

"Playing the little mermaid that wanna see the world again?" I joked, leaning my cheek on my palm
