John was shocked to see Erin as a mermaid but he thought it would be best to hear Erin out. Let her tell him her story before doing anything else. "I wonder how Erin ended up like this" he thought as he saw Erin jumping onto the couch. She looked beautiful with her beautiful black hair and her beautiful face.
Erin gave John his dinner and she grabbed her plate. She looked like she was about to cry. Nervously, John eventually grabbed Erin's hand and said "It's gonna be okay, this secrets not gonna leave this couch". Erin nodded and smiled but she was still crying.
"Well John, about how I ended up like this. Well I don't know, that's the thing. I was living a normal healthy life. I had a job, I had friends, I had beautiful legs. The night before this happened, I was working at the restaurant like any normal person would do. Then I went to this festival that was being thrown. It was called Moonlight Magic and I went with my best friend Sarah. It is a festival that happens every time there is a full moon in September time. I sang, I danced and I socialized with a lot of people It must have been around 2 o clock when I eventually went back home. I didn't have anything to drink because I was driving but I went straight to sleep because I was so tired and I knew I had work in the morning".
"So what happened next then". said John. He was so drawn into the story but he also saw tears running down Erin's face more than usual. He knew this was when Erin's life changed.
"I had dreams" Erin said. "Dreams that made me feel free, I was dreaming of swimming in a vast ocean with birds flying around me and fish circling my body. I felt so free in that dream when all of a sudden my alarm clock went off and I woke up. When I turned off my alarm and sat up, I saw my whole body was fine with my beautiful legs and everything. All of a sudden though, as I was just getting out f bed, my feet felt funny. It happened in a flash, my legs were changing color and were merging together. My feet turned 2 foot long and became a massive fish fin. Lastly, my breasts started growing and no seashell bra covering it. My life changed in an instant. I had to quit my job obviously, I've had to stop seeing anyone like my friends and family. I have just been cooped up in this house for half a year since then living off the Internet. I get benefits now because I don't have a job so I have been living off the basic. I just tell the delivery driver to leave everything by the back door so no one would see me and my bills keep getting paid for anyway from my benefits".
Erin looked down at her green tail with disgust and started crying heavily. She felt her scaly tail and wondered if anyone would give her her life back. "How come this has happened to me" Erin cried. "What have I done wrong". She flapped her fin a couple of times and wondered what John would think.
