I love mermaids and mermaid retellings. This was a dark and haunting story that had me gasping aloud at some parts. Really beautiful lines and a lot happening in a very short story. I am not super into body horror and might have avoided this story if I knew how much body horror would be in this, but glad I got to know this story!
