Merman Dominic

Dominic came from the sea, with the voice as alluring and heartbreaking, holding attention whenever he opened his mouth. It was beautiful… though as he stood on stage smiling at his fans, he couldn’t help but feel trapped. Just singing and performing for their amusement, he wanted to touch them. Reach them.

But there was that invisible wall keeping them apart.

He wanted to feel human, to feel what they felt, but that was hard to do when you were trapped. His vibrant pink and black tail curled before finally it broke. Something in the merman broke. He wasn’t a side show. And his tail slammed into the brittle glass and he noticed security trying to get on stage to stop him.

His bandmates were getting in their way-

A few more thumps and the stage was flooded.

Dominic was clinging to the metal frame as Adam ran over wrapping a pink flag around him as his tail faded and turned to legs.

And for the first time… even with the broken glass in his feet, the merman smiled.
