Eddie gets out of bed for the last day of the fishing season. In the distance, he can hear the farmers tending to their fields. They have supported him when his catches failed, but he has been on quite the streak thanks to Vivian. Thanks to the diet from the sea and now the land, Shadehedge has started to turn itself around. A whiff of something reaches Eddi...
The little guy swam to one of the larger ones and back several times. The last time the big one followed to nudge and thank the longhaired, thin, sad young man. It did not know how to touch a human. The first few bumps pushed Urstain several feet in the chest deep water. In a minute or two, Urstain and the big animal touched, rubbed, lingered and went their...
The driving, intense rain started to subside and the raging waves were a bit calmer. I wasn't sure if this was the beginning of the end of the storm or just an interlude. All of the electronics on the boat were knocked out by the ferocious storm but I managed to keep the nose of the boat pointed to the south and the west thanks to the good old fashioned mari...
While sailing in the South Pacific, I was trying to sleep but it was too hot below decks and went topside aboard my boat, The Mermaid Angel to catch a breath of fresh air. It was a mild night and a milder sea. I could smell Jasmine and other tropical flower scents being carried to me by soft breezes. Their smell was intoxicating. I began feeling lightheade...

She strode along the beach with her dress fluttering in the warm breeze, vexed by matters of the heart - and feared that her longing would be unrequited. Richard had grown...
More than a week later, Thomas was feeling listless and depressed. His contentment following the mating-cycle had only lasted for about three days, maybe four at the most. And a meager contentment it had been, given that a merman's orgasms tended to be on par with the least-satisfying, lowest of the low-key orgasms ever experienced by a human male. After tha...
Jordan and Carmen had not found a way to keep many of the largest creatures on Earth captive within their protective reefs. The Cetaceans where air breathers and would not survive the aftermath of the bombardment. They decided that any saved was better than none so blue whales, Narwhals, and white sided dolphins were placed in the area between the outer an...
I fish because I love to because I love the environs where trout are found which are invariably beautiful; because , my fishing is at once an endless source of delight and an act of small rebellion; because only in the woods can I find solitude without loneliness; because bourbon out of an old tin cup always tastes better out there; because maybe one day I w...
A bespoke story, written for an individual with their own dreams and fantasies. May you enjoy it as much as they have. + Rachel Monk looked up over her books strewn over a table in the library. "Hey!
