“How did this happen?…”

——————————————————

Mako Island. Nobody really knows anything about it, and it shows.

So much so that you decided that you needed to know more. However, curiosity always kills the cat.

You wanted to camp there for around 3 days. That should’ve been enough time to gather a bit of research till your next trip. Convincing your older brother to take you on his boat took forever, but he gave in. One of these nights, however, was a full moon.

Just to your luck, the night of said full moon was the night you stayed up late and went exploring to see what Mako was like at night. Of course, you decided to go alone. Ever watched a horror movie? Anyways, as you were exploring, you slipped on some wet rocks and slid into this cave. Though, when you were sliding, you didn’t stop. You rolled all the way into a pool that was in the cave. Great. Now you’re all wet. Your brother is going to wonder what happened to you.

You scrambled to get out. Yup, dripping wet. You shook off a little bit. The pool behind you was… bubbling? That wasn’t worrying at all! Could be infested with flesh eating bugs… or something.

After getting over the pool and doing some thinking, you remembered that you had a grappling hook in your bag. You took it out, unwrapped it, and threw it out of the cave. Thankfully, all hope wasn’t lost, because it grappled onto something. It was sturdy, too. Using trial and error, you slowly climbed back up. After a little bit, you finally get out. You don’t think twice about running back to your campsite.

You stay the last day and then go home. After getting home, you end up taking a bath. Mako is dirty. It was only then that you found out that… you had a fish tail.

You quickly try to roll out, reach for a towel, and dry off. After a minute, it goes away. What the hell just happened?

You ponder for a few days, staying away from water as you do. What are you going to do now?…
