November 22 The mermaid tied me to the bed with rope. It wasn't very binding. Like calling me slave, she did it as a practicality or custom more than any real measure. She knew I couldn't go anywhere. Despite my exertion yesterday I was apparently in rough shape. I felt like one giant bruise, but I was getting better. She didn't lie in the bed with me, pref...
Lightning ignites the sky with a majestic crash. Below the surface of the stormy seas, a few merpeople watch the lights reflected in the shifting water. One of the mermen there, Derrick, charges upward and jumps into the air just as the thunder echoes throughout the dark sky. Another lightning bolt rains down, illuminating his dark brown hair. Derrick's emer...
This is my first story that I've been working on for a while and hopefully I'll have the second part out soon if all goes well. Comments and reviews are welcome. ***** The sun shone on the pristine white sandy beach as the gentle waves carried a lifeboat gently to the shore. The sole occupant was awoken when the keel of the boat touched land. Tom had lost...
Arthur meanwhile was having problems of his own. He had been taken to and locked up in a giant clear bubble that kept the water out but kept him in. He had sat for hours wondering where Dana was and what cruel tortures the lecherous underwater people had devised for her very maidenly body. Those thoughts had led to others, and his mind was still dwelling o...
Milan gave a sad sigh, tapping the tuning fork against the side of the boat. He twisted the knobs, adjusting his lute's tune, and idly plucked at a few strings. "What's the matter?" The fisherman glanced down at his one companion out in the bay—a red-haired mermaid with a shimmering silver tail. She clung to the side of the boat, as she had been doing for...
"At last! Two whole weeks without having to deal with Shauna and her new boyfriend!" Claire dropped her bags on the floor and flopped onto one of the twin beds. She peered up at her older sister, narrowing her eyes in a mock-glare. "The only thing that would make it better would be not having to share with an old lady." Lauren shook her head, setting her ba...
There is a world of fantasy, of primality, of the most ancient of creatures and the most ancient of laws. It is a savage and uncompromising world, so alien to human thought and emotion that it might as well be the landscape of another planet beyond our galaxy. It is a world where even humans fear to tread, where we are not, as in our own métier, the greatest...
The next morning, Josh woke up on the beach. Alex was still there, sleeping, a few feet away from him. Normally affectionate (maybe rather more affection than a cousin ought to be), last night she had kept her distance. Her bikini-top and pirate-jewels sat in a small pile on the sand next to her, and she seemed to be resting peacefully. So, Josh decided to t...
NOTE: Diane and Peter are back! It's been a while since I've updated this saga, so I hope you're still interested. This one is a little different, at request of an avid reader, who wanted to see something mermaid-related. I hope you enjoy it! As always, please know that comments and feedback are very important in determining what I write next, as you can see...
Where's the money? While there has been no evidence of mermaids existing out of legends or tales, mermaid sightings have existed for centuries. With today's computerized technology, seeing DNA links, gene codes, and life itself be carefully manipulated, or perhaps crafted, brought one doctor's career to an in depth study of evolutionary adaptation. Fascin...
