He fell for her the moment he saw her at the lake... His hands following the rough edges of the pebbles all beneath him. Looking through, it's never been like this... Watching the waters trickle like consequences, alone. In the torch, not caring whether his skin will peel. The slow flops of the fish, the Maya's, the trees... Everything was rustling, except for his heart. He wondered why when he wandered, his face would flush fresh tomatoes.

A breeze following his every step caressing the sweat away from his forehead. That alluring bird song, pulling him like a mate destined to find another... Step by step, it grows closer. Closer to the center of the voice. There in his sights, lay the mesmerizing view of a fish, tail and human.u

Aside pools of blood. Affinity strucked, the two benign creatures. Locking them in eternal sleep, in the guise of their gazes. Of course having to snap back reality in course. His body moved back in reaction. As the fish humanoid creature did the same, yet with kind eyes. She smiled.

That, made him realize that he was a still young man, despite being 32. As tomatoes grew in the back of the garden of emotions. Rooting themselves in his cheeks, hypothetically. He quickly turned and decided to leave, yet the water floating mid air holding him back did not do the job for the man. It had done much worse.

Pushing inside the cloth, the water tightened up the grip it had from before. From what it seemed gentle and kind, it was mean and deathly. Yet more importantly, her eyes... Had the same material. With all the ounces of strength left in his body, he uttered a smile loudly. Followed with a loud thud on the ground, gasping, fear and running.

More and more, the sight of the lady with green scales disappeared along the lines of vines covering the forest. Smiling, with a little fire inside his chest...

"I think I'm in love..."

He was found dead 3 hours later.
