He was astonished to see hundreds of men and women talking,
pointing and gesturing at something standing alone in the middle of pier. A
continuous spray of water doused whatever was there. What was it? Why the need
for water? He was too far from the pier to clearly see what was occurring. To
move closer would put him in endanger. But he must move closer. He pushed his fear away and drifted closer.
He could the feel the pull the song had on him. He could almost decipher the lyrics, and the
raw emotion pulled at his heart and his spirit. What was causing this? He had
never experienced this feeling. It was as if his spirituality was being
reopened, tested and challenged. He felt
he was being asked to do something, but, what?
As he got closer, he could vaguely make out some creature standing,
no, tied to a post. Its colors were deep
indigo blue, with shades of teal, soft reds and pinks. The colors faded when water
drained from its body, however, their bright hues instantly returned where the
seawater splashed. Long hair cascaded down over soft shoulders. Oh my, it is not possible, he thought; it was
the long storied and never seen creature – a mermaid!!
A-a-aughh, he felt a sharp pain in one of his tentacles. The
diver had returned, and he was being pulled down to the channel bottom by the
embedded spear!
