Dreams
I dreamt that I was a mermaid last night. Yeah, I know. Lame.
I wasn't a fish though, I was warm blooded and I had a blowhole on the back of my head. I fell in love with a dolphin that I found caught in a net, and freed it, but then it swam away from me. It said that I reminded him too much of a human.
I cut off all my hair with a sharp rock went to a cave. I lived in rock pools instead of the ocean, because I didn't want to die but I didn't want to be near anyone else ever again. I ate raw crabs and snails and made up stories to amuse myself.
Then, a human found me and wanted to take me away from the cold, dark cave. He kept me in a warm pool and fed me and combed my hair, when it grew back. He fell in love with me, and wanted me to be his wife, but I couldn't leave the water. And I couldn't consummate a marriage with a human. We didn't fit together.
He died, possibly of old age, I can't remember well now. I died too, because I couldn't move out of the artificial pool and there was no food there for me to live off.
Yeah. Ok, maybe you had to be there.
