The Breeding Season

Our worst fears have come true. A captive mermaid has escaped into the wild, beginning the nightmare anew. But this isn't the only thing we have to contend with. Between civil unrest brewing in Mermaid Cove over the continuing deaths at sea, to the scientific community becoming involved with the capture of an infant mermaid, and sinister threats arriving at my doorstep in the form of anonymous letters, it seems nothing can get worse than it already is.  I know, deep down, that this is only the beginning. It is up to me to stop the breeding season from happening.
