Excerpt:
Atlantis Regained
here was a mermaid unlike any other. Mermaids are sleek long-haired beauties that like to be together, frolic and swim the seven seas. This one had a round, chubby, happy face, which too often was transfigured to sagging and sad by the cruel wagging tongues and flapping fins of her sleek cousins. These lovelies of every sailor’s dream called her Walrus because of her overbite and lumpy size. They would have nothing to do with her and would not allow her to accompany them when they followed the ships, lest the maritime net her into its dreams and ruin the legend of the beauteous maidens of the sea.
