While walking along the beach near your home one day, a blue shimmer catches your eye from across the sand. As the cool waves lap at your feet, the shells and pebbles shifting beneath your footsteps, the glimmer continues to shimmer under the sun. As you approach, you realize that the shimmering was scales, scales on the long, slender tail of the merman that's coming into view. With long, dark, purple hair, and blue fins and scales scattered across his body, he lays beaches on the sand. He's washed ashore, unconscious, likely thrust into the rocks that litter the nearby sea by the currents. You can see the subtle rise and fall of his chest, and silently thank any higher powers that the beach is uncharacteristically lonely today.
