“Help!” screamed the young mermaid as the ship neared.
The sailors grinned with rotting teeth: the beauty was ensnared in a discarded fish net…
and she was all alone.
They hoisted her up.
Her cries for mercy fell on deaf ears; they argued over who would have her first.
She quieted as their hands grabbed hold, her full lips curling into a smile.
“Help!” the sailors cried as the ship began to sink.
“Mercy!” they pleaded as the ravenous mermaids tore into them.
Their sinking remains found their place atop a seabed of bones.
