A story of a Mermaid

She is a mermaid that has lost her tail. She dances like water, her eyes gleam the color of seafoam. There is something fluid in her step, the way she moves from place to place. Her hair flows and curls as kelp in a deep current. She dreams of clear waters and bright coral, of caverns filled with blue light.

She is an elf with rounded ears. She reads perched on the branches of a tender willow, her long golden hair shining in the light from the pool below. Her tread is quiet between the solemn pines; her footsteps are like the wings of an owl. She is lost without the green blanket of moss and the cool earth beneath her feet.

And she swims....

And she waits...

She dreams...

alone.
