Funny how now that I have your undivided attention (hopefully), I don't know where to start. What will you be comfortable with? My mind keeps wondering why that should even be taken into account. I guess it's just a matter of conscience. Will you believe what I say, even when I tell you my honest truth? Would you even believe the start of it? But it shouldn't bother me, right? Whether you believe me or not is of no importance, right?
Wrong.

Let's see. Now close your mouth and don't open it, you're about to hear something absolutely crazy... I'm a selkie.
Huh?
You don't what that is?
Seems like I was right about you. I am wasting my breath. Bet you know all about mermaids, sirens and even aliens, though. Ridiculous. Believe it or not, but my kind share the same fables. It's a beautiful way to entertain the children, isn't it? But the difference is that we tell them about your kind, too. About the creatures that dwell in reality. Do you tell your children about us? Of course not. Unlike your silly bedtime stories, I'm real. I'm alive. And you Don't even know what a selkie is. Tragic. But don't worry, stupid human being, for I will tell you. And you will tell your children, if you ever have any. If you ever come to love me, you will tell everyone you know about this. I have no doubt that you will come to love me, for a selkie is not hard to love...

Sit back, dear, and I'll tell you all about selkies. And then I'll tell you all about your part in it. Yes, that's right. You're not quite as innocent as you think. But that's a story for another time.
