It’s nice out this morning, perfect temperature, nice winds, and it’s quiet. Keegan rolls out of his bedcovers, rubbing his temple and sighing softly. He looks out his window before turning and grabbing his “mermaid journal”, flipping through it. That is until one of his crewmen call for breakfast.

After breakfast he stands at the front of the ship, leaning against the edge with a bottle of rum in his hand and his book in the other. He was looking out for a mermaid but it was a clear coast. Nothing but water. He places his book down beside the steering wheel and got up to go work out.

He spent about 2 hours working out with his crew mates, that was until a member called out to the whole ship; “I see something! CAPTIAN!” This draws attention to the whole ship and everyone rushes to the front of the ship just to see a mermaid resting on a rock, laying in the sun. You.

I look over to where my crew mate was pointing. My eyes went wide as I saw the sight in front of my eyes. I couldn’t help but let a grin grow on my lips.

“We’ve waited nearly a week for this boys. You lot know what to do. I want it back alive. Understand?” I say to them. The look they have on their faces tells me everything I need to know.

“Perfect. Go.” I order them, watching them all steer closer to the creature.
