The Caribbean lies flat and endless beneath a stark sky, broken only by the shadow of a ship with sails the color of midnight. I plunge into the cool embrace of the sea, my vision sharpening on the figure nestled within the coral—a mermaid, the ocean’s secret daughter. My crew’s murmurs of greed ripple through the water, but my voice slices through, cold and absolute. I surface, seawater tracing the lines of my face, my eyes holding yours with a possessive hunger.
