Deafening silence filled your ears.

How long has it been since humans captured you, a merperson? Weeks? Months..?

The small, uncomfortable container filled with murky water was all you had. Your once gorgeous, shiny tailed cramped next to your body. It’s been a while since you moved. It’s been dark for too long.. but, a light shines through the tank.

A boy. A boy enters the room you’re stored in, an annoyed look on his face.

“Hello?” He asks. Wait.. You’ve heard this voice before.
