Look at the fantastic art below. Have to ask the editor who the visual artist is.
The Wild Hunt posted on twitter the following sentiment which sums up Andrea’s reason for writing this story.
Background on this piece:
Andrea: Mermaids are not usually thought of as dangerous. Nor is it in the universal folklore that humankind did terrible things to them but of course we did. (That’s if they existed).
I was especially inspired by this cryptozoology I came across about Welsh mermaids. (I am a quarter Welsh and would love someday to visit Wales but who knows now. Some mermaids started out as giants, they diminished as everything seems to do when encountering certain elements of humanity.
