    Dearest diary,


    I''ve come to the conclusion that the small organisms are only semi-parasitic, they are larva. Mermaid larva. I have even managed to find some shed skin that supports this hypothesis on the beach. The melody has gotten unbearable, I occasionally hear the separate voices, but I''ve been trying my best to ignore them. They have been calling me, begging me to go down into the caverns. I just know it.


    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    Salvatore has sent me a letter with a seal of urgency on it. I am contemplating opening it. However I do not wish to give in, he does not deserve to be my friend anymore. 23 years of friendship only for him to abandon me when I needed him most.
