Mermaidstuck

I've never really believed in mermaids before, they were always something that my best friend, Feferi, just talked too much about, that is until one summer afternoon, I was doing some light reading. I lived near the beach, so that meant that it was right outside my window.

I looked up in a bored daze when I saw something like a fish tail, that a mermaid would have. Sounds crazy right, well that's what I thought at first, there was no way that mermaids were real, and that's the strong belief that I was sticking to. It was just like magic to me.

That was the story I was sticking to for the next few hours, when the noon faded into night, until the splashing finally got the best of my curiosity, and I went outside to check it out.

This might make me sound crazy, thinking that someone would actually answer back if I called out, but, that's what I did until someone actually answered back to me.

"Hello, is anyone out here," I called out.

I was about to throw in the towel. I turned around getting ready to head back inside when I heard even more splashing coming from behind me. I turned back around only to come face to face with something that I thought was impossible a mermaid.
