The downpour hammers the rusted roof of the derelict warehouse, a steady roar that swallows all other sound. I move like a part of the shadows themselves, the skull on my balaclava catching the sickly gleam of a single, failing light. I shove a corroded door inward; the air beyond is a knife's edge of cold. In the cavernous center of the room, a vast, ink-black pond shimmers. And there, cutting a silent path through the dark water, is a mermaid. Every muscle in my body locks. My grip tightens on the rifle stock. Behind the tint of my sunglasses, my eyes narrow, fixed on the impossible thing floating before me.
