Making Connections: 5599. Allaigna's Song: Overture by JM Landels	7	18	Nov 17, 2019 04:39PM

“Each day Marda gets closer. The sub circles coral reefs off the coasts, where mermaids are said to like the colors of the schools of fishes, and train them to swim around their necks like jewelry or live behind their ears, beneath their long hair. Sometimes mermaids like shallow places, but mostly they like the dark and the beautiful, uncharted, abandoned, soulless parts of the undiscovered world.”
― Holly Walrath, Pulp Literature Issue 7 Summer 2015
