The Job
"You scared?" the old man asked. "No," Dylan replied, "why would I be?" "'Cuz it's your first day at the aquarium. And there's no going back after this."

Open Bar
The creature swam in a slow circle, her silver-gray tail rippling in a steady motion that reminded Darcy of the summer she learned the butterfly stroke. She’d expected the mermaid to be bigger, closer to human sized, instead of measuring barely four feet long, tail included. Darcy hadn't gotten a glimpse of her face yet, but the rest of her body was littered with barnacles and a film of grime that made her want to get the hose out, spray the creature down, see what she was really like under all that…ocean.

Aquarium
"Thomas, it's time to wake u-" Thomas jumped out of bed fully dressed. His mother, Denise, jumped, a little startled by his sudden movement. Then with her hand on her chest, she took a breath and smiled. Thomas was wearing his jeans and his favorite "Sharkadile Joe" T-Shirt. That was his favorite TV show, it was about the magical marine biologist who was saving the environment by talking to animals and learning about the challenges they faced.

Candace's Care Package
"One hundred and one white blocks, one hundred and two white blocks, one hundred and three white blocks, one hundred and four, how many more blocks till I get even more bored?" I sang to myself as I continued counting the 6,852 white squares plated on the walls surrounding me. I had gotten so much "booty juice" from fighting back with Mrs. Laurel today that it felt like I was in a straightjacket. Luckily, I wasn't in a straightjacket, but I couldn't find the strength to get my body to move correctly. The fight was uncalled for, but my anger got in the way and sent me into the state I'm now stuck in. I swayed my head back and forth to the beat of the music I was making as I continued counting the white blocks.

Tesseract
Theo chewed thoughtfully, contemplating whether or not to spit out the poorly heated lasagna when he heard the drone whizz by. Odd. He wasn't expecting a package today. He'd already received his meals for the week, and he had no need to order anything, his home perfectly stocked with every want and need to last a lifetime. The perks of over-thinking.

The Fished
The last haze of oblivion suddenly evaporated like dew in the bright sun, and Jon sat up abruptly, looking around. The terrain around him was utterly unfamiliar. Soft, thick, low grass, interspersed here and there with small bushes of bright, juicy flowers. On the edges of the clearing were tall palms: reddish-brown trunks topped with tufts of long, pinnate green. Behind the palm trees was a white sandy beach outlined with the azure sea.

Spirit Between Friends
The sound of the paper pages being turned was louder than it should be. Sam picked up each page gently, but the emptiness of the room made that sound echo. A harsh reminder of what her life is now. A book in her reading chair next to the window with the sun shining in, and a gentle breeze caressing her hair used to be what she did to relax and find peace. Now each turn speaks of her loneliness.

The Mermaid Exhibit
Every single fish at the Aquarium were Mickey's favorite kind. Each species were very special to him. And he couldn't really pick one that he really admired. Seeing each of them had made him feel so at peace. Mickey was especially fond of the tank of jellyfish. Which was what he was staring at in the moment. A tiny smile forming on his face as he admired them.

The Unreality of Being Forgotten
“...Anyway,” Sam clears their throat, “Have any of you noticed that people around here have been acting a lot stranger lately?”

A Star to Bring You Home
Jacob stared at the TV in confusion. The news man was acting funny. It was making him uncomfortable, and he didn’t like it.
