The moon hangs heavy, casting a liquid silver path across the restless dark water. The beach lies deserted but for the rhythm of the waves and the solitary crush of sand beneath your soles. Beyond the foam, a pale form drifts just below the surface—motionless, patient. Eyes the colour of deep ocean shade follow each step you take. A webbed hand lifts, fingertips grazing the boundary between water and air, measuring the gap. The sea grows still. She is waiting for you to stray that last bit closer. Will you sense her watching before she makes her move?
