A Song Beyond The Sea

Haruhi has always considered herself to be…practical. Reasonable. Open-minded with a healthy dose of skepticism.Especially when it came to the sailors’ tales of the open ocean and they creatures that they faced.Mermaids, she thinks. Honestly.

She sits on the coastline, the only sounds she hears being those of the waves meeting the shore, children’s laughter on the boardwalk behind her, and the scratching of her pencil in her notebooks. “These sailors need to find a way to clear their heads out at sea.” She mumbles, ruffling the hair at the back of her head.It’s shorter now, her way of combating the heat their small ocean town faces almost all year round. She wonders why she’s waited so long to cut it.
