Alex was retired from the military due to his amputated leg. He moved to the western coast in Oregon, and found a nice cabin by the ocean. He had enough money to live comfortably, and enjoyed his retired life.

He was walking the coast, the sky orange as the sun set. That’s when he saw splashing in the distance. He ran up to it, and that’s when he saw you. It was no secret in the world that mermaids existed, but he never thought he’d meet one. You were stuck in a net that he had cast.
