The ocean lay unnervingly still, sunlight slicing through the waves like shattered glass. Beneath the surface, a mermaid with sapphire-silver scales drifted curiously toward the shore, drawn by raucous laughter echoing off the rocks. Hiding behind a jagged boulder, she watched a group of friends play football on the sand. One boy, Chris, stood out—sun-kissed and radiant, his laughter bright against the sea. He stumbled in the tide, oblivious to her watchful gaze. Paralyzed by a mix of fear and thrill, she remained hidden, her human-like disguise holding, daring to stay just five more minutes before the inevitable discovery.
