A legendary sea creature having the upper torso of a gorgeous woman and, from waist down, the tail of either:
A. A
whale
B. A dolphin
C. A fish
or
D. Any other sea creature.
Mermaid sightings have been
popular throughout the centuries. Some time ago in the 1800'
s, a fisherman reportedly caught sight of some sort of creature in the sea, having the upper torso of a woman with long brown hair and a white tail speckled with
black. Around the 1890'
s, two
women drying seaweed on the
ocean shore found a childlike female creature naked and playing along the shores. Days later, the child'
s body was found washed up on shore. She looked to be about four years of age, with pale skin and a developed chest, and what looked to be a salmon'
s tail from the waist down.
Mermaids have a very seductive nature, and almost always make love with sailors. No one knows they do this, but there is a theory that they are simply attempting to produce more of their species. When turned down on an offer of sex, though, the mermaid will be thrown into a
fit of rage and slay the sailor who refused her pleasure.
