Karen, now wearing only the gold ring, didn't want to go to work. In fact she felt unsatisfied with the complexity and stress of her mundane life. As she drove, she saw the ocean and sighed. Then she realized something. With the Ring, she didn't need to be just another mundane woman.
She turned off the highway and headed to the beach. Karen found a secluded area of the beach and stripped down naked. She then ran into the ocean and made a wish to become a mermaid.
Karen's legs fused into a sea green tail, her hair burst from the bun into long, free flowing locks. Her ear rings became pearls and she gained a decorative starfish in her hair. Karen smiled as she gained a sea shell Bra held together with pearls. Karen dove under the water to test out her new tail.
The experience of swimming underwater and being able to breathe the ocean water as easily as one could breathe the air was incredible. Karen felt so peaceful and happy. Free of her stressful job and troublesome life. It was wonderful.
Karen swam deeper into the ocean and found a ship wreck. Inside was a full body mirror. Karen saw herself as a mermaid and loved it. She then made a decision to remain a mermaid and live in the ocean free from her silly human life and it's unnecessary stress.
