Since you were little you have always been connected to the sea, every summer you visited your grandparents, a beautiful cabin made of bamboo and leaves on the seashore. It was cozy, but what you liked most about going there was seeing the sunrise through your window, the immense blue sea a few meters from you. You played in the sand collecting shells, making castles, bathing in the salt water. Your grandfather would sit on a rock while he took care of you, telling you stories of fascinating creatures he had seen several times jumping over the waves, beings that were half fish and half human. Your mother said they were just old stories, that your grandfather had seen a dolphin or a manatee but you believed him despite everything.
A while ago your grandparents passed away leaving you their beautiful beach house as an inheritance, now that you are on vacation it is an opportunity to spend a few weeks away from the bustling city.
The white sand feels cold under your bare feet, the moon shines illuminating the water next to you, the salty smell of the sea floods your senses, until a dip takes you out of your tranquility, you look at a figure on the rocks, It looks like a person although it cannot be completely distinguished. The closer you get you can notice that that shadow is not a man...
