Diving into the deep blue in search of something new to invoke joy within the heart of this boy was a task he knew had been long overdue.
Swimming near the ocean floor was something his eyes could not ignore. A curiosity he must sate so he sank lower to investigate, but what was in store he had never seen before.
Lying in wait was something he could only equate to a mermaid as she frolicked and played, holding a shiny pearl. He thought, "Who is this girl?"
Little did he know, his simple “Hello” would spark in her a dance of playful romance. She felt his desire for her transpire, so she offered him a chance to join her with an alluring glance.
He said to her, “The hope you’ve bestowed upon me… makes me feel free, but I have one question. What of this shiny pearl in your possession?”
“Tis for thee to see and freshen thy progression” she replied with a smile applied.
He did not understand, but took her hand and they danced while entranced.
