Merbabies Quotes

“The air is thick with the nauseating rot of discarded hot dogs and sweat. It’s insufferable. Everything. She can barely walk a few feet without knocking into a screaming child, or tripping over the rickety soap box of a barker, who roars over the crowds about bearded women, mer-babies and horned geriatrics.”
― Ilse V. Rensburg, Sleight of Hand

“The baby's eyes glimmered through the water like their namesake emeralds, and she wriggled with undeniable delight. Bubbles flowed around her, iridescent in the fading light. She smiled through them, as if she had created them on purpose for their perfect shapes and rainbow colors.”
― Louisa Morgan, The Witch's Kind
