Merman Stories

It was a dream, it had to be a dream right? She never went for an evening swim. She drank too much wine, and she was still in her warm bed, curled up sleeping. She had dreamed everything! She let her eyes stay closed as she let her fingers run across the soft surface, but it did not feel like the cotton sheets, and she couldn’t find a pillow. Everything was perfectly in place on this surface, she did not need a pillow. He...

Melody lived on the coastal village of Merida Bay in Florida. Oh, she loved the ocean and the sand. She loved her little village. It was small and quiet, not much on the tourist side, which was great for her. But, there was one little thing that haunted the whole island. Every few years, girls would go missing. Normally, they were eighteen and always during the summer. Some figured they just up and left, but others felt t...

He had been sitting in that little cove for far too long and the heat was starting to get to his head. He shouldn’t have been this close to shore in the first place but he was hoping to see his friend again, if only just to say hello.  He brushed his drying hair back from his eyes as he scanned the shoreline; still no sign of her anywhere.

One wrong step, and she could go tumbling down. “Just wait. You’ll see.” He was subdued, and held her hand firmly, apparently unruffled by the darkness and the rocky shore beneath them.

She felt stress sweat bead up under her arms. Cass needed to look irresistible for Javier, but she still wasn’t sure her outfit was quite right. Maybe the black halter bikini was too predictable? At least she knew she looked hot in the blue si...

Cass giggled as she ran across the wet sand, dropping her bra and panties behind her onto the deserted beach. Her feet made little splashes as she ran into the chilly surf. Once the water deepened, she began to swim with strong, confident strokes. After swimming a couple dozen yards, Cass tested the depth with pointed toes and was satisfied that she could still touch sand. She turned in the shoulder-deep water to face the...

I dropped into the chair that I had dragged onto the beach. I swirled the drink in my hand, hearing the music of the party, but trying to focus on the waves going gently back and forth. With each sip of my glass and the waves crashing on the beach, I was slowly falling into a blissful numbness. I turned around and looked up at my house where my friends were having their party. I watched as couples gyrated on the make shif...
