Mike had always been overweight, he was always the heavy-set guy since he was in kindergarten, this always made him feel uncomfortable once he got older but at the age of 24 fresh out of college and finally having money to not live off fast food he was finally working on himself.
As he walked down the beach from his car ready for a morning swim, just like he did every day for the past couple of months, he looked down at his chest and actually allowed himself a smile. He was still overweight, but he could see that he was no longer as big and was making progress. A few girls had started to pay attention to him around the office and at bars.
As he reached the edge of the water to go for his swim, he stopped as a sound reached his ears.
“What the?” inquired Mike as he moved toward a nearby set of rocks. Over the sound of crashing waves and the sound of the ocean he heard a baby crying.
When he reached the rocks, his eyes widened as he looked down to see a crying baby who looked a couple months along at the latest, but it wasn’t a normal baby it was mermaid baby.
“My God.” Said Mike as the baby turned up and looked at him even as it kept crying.
