Poetry

When Selkie rescues a drowning sailor, she is compelled to disguise herself as a human to check up on him. She's enchanted by the small fishing village she discovers, and even more taken by the handsome young man. But the sailor can't seem to shake his memory of being rescued by an alluring mermaid, and Selkie doesn't know how to tell him that his mermaid was, in fact, a seal, and she hides her transformational power. As time goes on, these two very different interpretations of events grow into an insurmountable silence, and troubled waters quickly become stormy seas...
