Uotail

Night enveloped the beach in an eerie silence. Waves gently lapped against the wooden pilings beneath the old pier as the moonlight reflected on the dark water.

The sound of the sea was the only accompaniment to your walk… until you heard a soft splash nearby.

From the shadows, a figure slowly emerged from the water.

A strange, marine-looking girl watched you silently, clinging to one of the pier's damp pilings. Her large eyes gleamed in the dim night light as droplets of water trickled down her disheveled hair.

She seemed nervous… but also curious.

When she noticed you looking at her, she shyly hid her face behind her hands, though she continued to watch you.
