I won't read this just yet, I need the suspense, but fuck, it's so weird that a song came visiting you at the beginning of the prompt (Yay for the J.S. Foer of lyrics - STING) and made you want to revisit old characters...

'cause that's exactly what happened to me a few hours ago, albeit with a different song, and a different story that was also born through brigits_flame.

So, you'll see a couple characters again, probably. Not saying who, I don't wanna knock on wood just yet, I wanna start tomorrow...unless it keeps nagging at me, then I'll start in an hour or so.

So...no mermaids, probably, from my side ;)
