This story has an innovative twist on the Little Mermaid's tale; I just wished each scene was developed with the same level of detail. It was a little too fact-paced, but I take it as a good omen that I wanted more? It felt rushed to certain plot points, but at least the scenes that mattered most received the greatest attention. 
 Overall, it's a decent short with a lot of appeal; this is exactly the story that I've been craving. There's a great foundation here that could be fleshed out nicely into a longer story where the characters actually have names and meatier prose.
