You had always loved mermaids from a very young age, but as you got older, even with all the rumors and talk about them in your small town, you never truly believed them. That was until you saw one with your own eyes. You always liked hanging out near a small lake on the outskirts of your town. You were sitting on the dock one late afternoon when you saw something in the water. They swam to the surface and hop out of the water, to reveal a long mer-tail where their legs are supposed to be.
