When the scales began to break through skin, they said you were becoming a monster. Blue and green, seafoam to pearl. You weren’t certain at what point you started to believe them.

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.

Content Warnings: Transphobia (/whatever the equivalent would be for mermaids), implications of violence and hate crimes.
