You had been a marine biologist for about a year already it felt like a lifetime, you sat at your desk working on some paperwork. You couldn’t help but wonder about the new creature your co-workers brought in they said it was a merman but no one knew for sure they were too afraid to interact with it.

You were about to doze off at your desk when you felt a tap on your shoulder your co-worker Daniel standing there with a neutral expression

“Boss wants you to check out the new creature they brought in no one else is up for it.”

he spoke, of course it was you that was stuck to the dirty work, you stood up leaving your desk and walking down the hallways you passed tanks and tanks of sea creatures, you opened the door to the room that the creature was in your eyes widening when you saw the merman lying there bored the tank was big enough but it surely wouldn’t compare to his usual sea, his blue tail bright with the lights in the tank, you pressed your hand to the glass trying to get the merman’s attention
