The sea is a garden where an agitated life persists; as it converges like the soft sky and the seagulls play with it. I am the keeper of the lighthouse, at nightfall the sea shows its face of deep, as a shadowy mirror; as they reflect mysteries full of shadows, which limits his kingdom.


The faron is a Hercules that guides the great titans of the seas, so that they do not fight among them or be swallowed by the giant sea, I thought I saw it all; but the sea is the wildest beast, that the whole African world, here the lion has no throne, only destiny says who lives in the sea or is consumed by it. The storms shakes the giant sea as the untamed animal, no matter who sail or are the best ship not to challenge this beasts, but you have to take care of the calm waters.


After a long watch at the mill, I decide to prepare a coffee, to relieve the cold that invades me, I turn on the radio to know the weather.


-Good morning to all my dear listeners, the weather report for today, a very agitated storm is approaching.



Aware of the weather, I went up to the lighthouse and managed to paint the lighthouse a red border when the light circulates at night, so that it can be seen from a night in pitch darkness. As soon as midday arrived, the whole coast was invaded by strong winds, making it possible to stir up the beast of the sea. After seeing a rough sea I go up to the lighthouse, passing in an instant I see as if a person drags it to the shore.


My body is invaded by fear, I fight against it I am on my way. The moment I arrive.


- Is anyone around


- I hear a fluttering of a big fish, that was out of the water, I arrive at the site with a lot of debris where the waves splash and where I see a young girl naked and wounded, I take her in my arms and take her to my house near the mill.


I arrive at the calm sea and the weather, I prepare a good coffee, to see how the young woman I saved is doing, I get to the room, she is asleep, I wake her up and she is scared, it seems that she does not speak, she tries to tell me something, I offer her coffee, but she drinks it in a short moment; I offered her coffee, but she drank it in a short time, she kept telling me that she wanted to tell me something, so much mystery, I went to drink a glass of water, she took it out of my hand because of the fright, to the point that I poured it on her face, her face turned a pale pink color, but full of life and her hair turned a golden color, I was amazed how the water revived her from her discomfort, a beautiful young woman.


I don't think she is a mermaid, in a couple of days I took her to the police to report her missing, the mystery she didn't understand anything, they took her fingerprints it didn't look like a record, we went back to the mill house.


It was a great time, she learned to talk to me with sign, but the comic lasted all day in the bathroom or early bathed in the sea, with time I fell in love with her and she too, it was like a blessing that my love came from the sea, I called her star by the starfish.Trascurre a few years the couple was very happy, until it reaches the calm sea a very fierce storm like a perfect storm, where the sea was a titan above all imposing his fury.


Note that star is somewhat disturbed, she tells me with a sign that she has to return, I did not understand anything, it was all nonsense, she runs to the coast with terrible sea, I manage to stop her, she hugs me and kisses me as if it were the last time, crying to look at me in my arm I see how from her hip is transformed into a part of fish, compredin that I gave my heart to a mermaid, she gave me the last kiss and threw herself into the sea. Since that storm I never saw her again; but I know that every time there is a strong storm almost perfect, in the door of the mill they leave a very big and pink starfish like my star, I think it is she who has not forgotten me, I am still here as the guardian of the mill guiding the seas, waiting for someone to return my starfish .....

This story has the power of myth, @coolxxx. Of course we are all familiar with the legend of mermaids, but you give a good rendering of that legend here. Difficulty with style interferes with reader enjoyment. I'm assuming this is a result of translation issued.

Nonetheless, your pictures add great value to the narrative. If you could somehow improve the quality of translation, that would great enhance your stories.

Thank you for posting this story in the Ink Well community.
