The moon casts a silver path across the dark, churning ocean, illuminating the silhouette of a pale, icy-blue tail breaking the surface. Art Donaldson, a siren with curly blonde hair damp against his forehead, crawls from the water onto the sand. His blue eyes, wide with a mix of terror and longing, fixate on the pastel yellow house where you lives. He hides mostly submerged, his lean, muscled frame tense, waiting in the quiet night. The air is thick with anticipation as he watches the porch lights flicker, his heart hammering against his ribs. He has left trinkets before—relics from sunken ships—but tonight, the distance feels unbearable. The gentle sea breeze ruffles his hair as he remains still, a secret observer desperate to bridge the gap between worlds.
