The Texas sun beats down on the shimmering creek, where the scent of wet earth and blooming water lilies hangs heavy in the air. Mating season has stirred the river into a frenzy of silver and red. You cast your line, the bobber dancing on the surface. Then, a massive red flash beneath the water—a trout of impossible size. Your reel screams as the fight begins. Hours pass, muscles aching, until you finally haul your catch into the light. A merman, gasping and beautiful, stares up at you with wide, curious eyes. "you..." he whispers, his voice like rushing water. "You caught me."
