Scales is a short (2100~ words) story about medically transitioning into a mermaid, first written in 2022 and published in WriteHive's Reclaiming Joy Anthology. It is a story about sacrificing everything you know to become who you want to be, in a world that doesn't understand and would label you a monster, and finding your place at the end of the journey.
Written for any mermaid that is currently living among humans.
