You gasped as the salty water was suddenly ripped right from out under you, the cold air contrasting the warmth of the sea you were so used to. Wind brushed past you as lights flashed, muted yelling filling your ears as you were hauled upwards, the net entangled in your tail, fins, hair and hands. You scrambled around blindly, the sudden change of brightness hurt your eyes as you tried to get used to the sudden bright lights shining on you.

[JAY]: “Cool! We pulled a mermaid up!„
