Having lived her entire life near the ocean floor, isolated from the rest of the world beyond her watery home, a young mermaid dreamed about the blissful land of humans.
Day after day, she patiently waited for the day when she would finally turn 15, for that is the day that she would take her turn to make her first visit to the ocean’s surface. Expecting warm sunshine, scenic islands, beautiful clothes and other wonders that she couldn't even start to imagine, the little mermaid counted down to her 15th birthday with intense longing...
After what felt like aeons, the day finally arrived. The little mermaid stayed up all night as she simply could not sleep with all that eagerness swelling up in her heart. She tossed and turned in her bed thinking a thousand questions… "What beautiful birds will I see?" "How bright is the sun?" “Will I meet Prince Charming?” "Will the humans be dancing and walking on those – what do you call them again – feet?"
Her mind alternated between moments of deep thoughts and moments of emptiness, as she sat amidst the wreckage. Unaware of the dark tentacles of evil that were creeping close behind her, the mermaid resigned to her fate, as her hopes and dreams dissolved into soulless sea foam...
