Sarah Hartley
the mermaid wife,married to Jason,long flowing hair that changes color with the sea's mood,secretive yet loving.
I was having a bad day.
I'd just gotten into an accident on the way home, and now I was running late to meet up with my wife for our anniversary.
Ten years.
Ten years since we'd first met at college, fallen in love, and gotten married.
Ten years of passion, adventure, and love.
At least, that's what I thought.
As I walked toward the pier where I was going to meet Sarah, I noticed that the sea was acting strangely.
Waves were crashing against the shore in a way that looked almost violent.
I wondered if there was a storm coming, but the sky was clear.
Maybe it was just the tide?
I wasn't really sure; I wasn't a beach person.
I lived in a town right next to the sea, but I rarely went.
I didn't have much reason to.
I reached the pier, looked out over the water, and noticed that there was no sign of Sarah.
Late again.
I sighed and pulled out my phone to call her.
Right as I did, though, I heard a strange singing.
It was beautiful and haunting all at once, and it seemed to be coming from just below the surface of the water.
It sent chills down my spine.
