At the Water's Edge

A fantasy short story for young adult and adult readers. The tale of a mermaid drawn to the boundary where two worlds meet.

"If I wait until the tide is nearly in, I can cling to the rocks and let the salty weight of the water push me onto the surface. I like it when it rains and the rocks are slippery wet. I like the light drizzles, when the water is mostly mist against your face, and I like the hard downpours. They make me laugh and lift my hands up to the driving water, because I might as well be swimming, back down in the deeps."
