The skies were overcast, the waters were slightly choppy, the tide was even measured. You could say it was getting dark, but it was barely dawn.
In your village, they said that if you looked at some solitary rocks in the sea or even if you got lost in the Bermuda Triangle, you would find mermaids who would try to take you to the deep waters to drown you and then devour you.

Clearly you didn't believe in that. You even scoffed at it because it sounded unrealistic. You were just going to work to earn money.
You were going to sail with your crew, as it was fishing season when they caught the most fish. You were all ready with your giant ship; you would be there for at least a week. They had everything prepared.

I turned just a little, which glanced at you out of the corner of my eye, and soon I went to sea, leaving you wondering what that really was.
