A man visits his wife at her new home.

Inspired by some of the mermaid stories by www.deviantart.com/uglygosling . For example, this one: A Mermaid Sabbattical 1A Mermaid Sabbattical 1 Simone Alchibe loved her job, teaching drama to aspiring thespians at her high school. On stage presentation, laying out a plot, writing a script, and more. In short, she wanted to produce performers who knew their craft inside and out. She was pleased that some of her former students had successfully established themselves in what was really a particularly tough profession to succeed in, and appeared in multiple acclaimed films and stage productions. Simone was also a performer in her own right, although she had largely stuck to behind-the-scenes work before taking up teaching full time. Having grown up in a coastal town, she had long been fascinated by the sea and its inhabitants, both real and legendary. Both her children took after their mother thusly, in particular her daughter Krista, who loved reading about the various mermaid legends. Eventually she began taking lessons from a professional performing mermaid in the city where they now lived, and by the time she was halfway through high school herself she was already hosting children's birthday parties while costumed as a mermaid. She did more than just entertain by telling legends about the sea; she also taught her young audience about what lay beneath the surface, and the importance of keeping the oceans healthy. As a reward for her dedication and good grades, Krista's mother allowed her to join a chaperoned senior class trip to a water park resort. When she returned following the four night, three day frolic, she was gushing. "Mom, they have mermaids there, real mermaids!" Despite her own long fascination by the legendary half woman, half fish inhabitants of the seas, Simone maintained a tone of skepticism. "Do you mean they are wearing realistic looking tails?" "No Mom, their tails are real. Take a look." Krista pulled out her smart phone, pressed a few buttons, then showed her mother the video which now appeared on screen. It showed a number of women in mermaid tails body surfing in the resort's wave pool, going down slides, and leaping completely out of the water before falling back in with impressive splashes. But what really caught her eye was the video of some mermaids lounging on poolside rocks and twisting and flexing their tails in ways no human legs ever could. "How do they do that?" Simone eventually asked her daughter. "I don't know Mom, but I heard all those mermaids want to there..." Simone's son had already graduated high school and was now attending college out of state. Her daughter too was planning to enroll in an out-of-state college after she graduated. With the family nest soon be be thus empty, Simone had some time ago decided to take a year's sabbattical from her job, but was still undecided just what she wanted to do. Travel, or devote herself to doing something she had never done before? As much as she enjoyed helping her daughter pursue her mermaid hobby, and as much as she enjoyed reading about the legendary sirens, she had never seriously considered mermaiding herself. The photos and video her daughter had recently taken on her class trip had piqued her curiousity however, so now she began looking on the internet for whatever information she could find on the mermaids who were calling the resort home. Getting that knowledge was surprisingly difficult; though the resort made no active effort to conceal their existence, it never publicised them in any way either. It was a friend who had stayed at the resort shortly before her daughter had who provided the information which especially caught her attention, and imagination. The friend's sister had spent a stint at the resort as a mermaid after going through a particularly stressful divorce; now she filled Simone in on the story behind the resort's resident pod of mermaids. Typically, they had come to the resort for much needed respite breaks from highly stressful personal situations. The technology for transforming them into mermaids had only been perfected a couple decades before, and involved both physical and mental aspects: while they retained their pre-change memories, the mermaids were also programmed so that during their time at the resort they had no desire to live as they had been living, but then only wanted to live their lives as mermaids, much as her daughter had seen and recorded on her phone. Simone also learned that when their scheduled time at the resort was nearing its end, the mermmaids were given the choice of either being restored to their previous fully human forms, or remaining as mermaids. Nearly all chose the former option and emerged much refreshed, but occasionally one would elect to stay a mermaid for longer. There was much Simone's friend still could not fill her in on the mermaids and how they were transformed from human to Mer and back again, but it was enough to start her thinking 'What would it be like for me to be one of those mermaids? Is that how I want to spend my sabbattical? How do I get in touch? Would they even accept me?' She broached her thoughts to her husband and he replied "Simone dear, if you really want to do that and they accept you, I will gladly help you any way I can. I'm sure Krista would too..." Which was indeed the case, when Krista's parents told her of what her mother was now contemplating doing for her sabbattical year. "You really want to do it, Mom, become a mermaid?" "Well, the more I look this stuff up, the more fascinated I have become...are you sure you don't want to do this yourself?" Simone now asked her daughter. "No, I do not think so...but who knows?" Krista's parents had always encouraged their children to choose their own path in life, and perhaps as a result both had chosen college courses of study totally different from what either of their parents had chosen for themselves. Furthermore, while Krista much enjoyed her mermaiding gigs, she had already indicated she did not anticipate making a career of it. Nonetheless none of the Alchibe family were afraid to try different things, either solo or as a family, and becoming a real mermaid would certainly qualify as something different from the ordinary. After much more thought and discussion with the rest of her family Simone decided she did want to become one of the resort's mermaids, if possible. The directors of the center where the mermaids underwent their transformations were surprised, and delighted, to learn of Simone's interest in becoming a mermaid. They invited her and her husband to an interview in their hometown, which was several hours travel time from the resort. When they did arrive, shortly after the end of the school year, at a non descript office building downtown, they explained "The means to transform you is now completely safe and reliable, but is still controversial in some quarters. That is one reason we never advertise the technology, or the resident pod of mermaids at the resort. "All the mermaids who we have had previously came because they badly needed a respite from their normal everyday lives...in their cases, a husband, sibling, or adult child were the ones who 'staged an intervention' and arranged to have them transformed into mermaids and sent to the resort...you would be the first to become a mermaid entirely of your own free will..." Simone was now given the opportunity to begin asking questions, and immediately asked how the women reacted upon discovering they had been turned into mermaids. "They are delighted to be mermaids, Simone" the head transformation tech now said. "The physical transformation you would undergo is obvious, but there is a mental side as well." "There is? How?" Simone now asked. "When a mermaid wakes up at the end of her transformation process, she still has all her previous memories, but no wish then to return to her former life. Instead, she only wants to be as she now is, to live at the resort with her sister mermaids, and to interact with the guests when she is so inclined..." Following a few more questions and answers Simone was asked "Would you like to meet Aurora?" "Who is she?" "Aurora is a mermaid who chose to stay as a mermaid when her respite time was up. Nearly all mermaids choose to be restored to their human forms, but a few do not, and two are now on the management staff. One is currently on maternity leave, but Aurora would be very happy to tell you what would lie ahead for you." Someone now opened a door, and a mermaid in a wheelchair rolled in. Simone was surprised and impressed to see she was of African descent like herself, with skin almost as dark as her own, and with her hair in dreads reaching past her waist. Her tail and pelvic and caudal fins were a greenish blue, and she wore no clothing except a pair of shells which covered her breasts without any visible strapping.The new arrival smiled and waved in Simone's direction, and Simone responded in kind, saying "Hi" as she did so. "This is Aurora" another tech, whose name was Julia, now said "She will tell you everything you need to know, and will answer any questions you might have...I will only serve as her interpreter." "Interpreter? She cannot speak English?" Simone asked with a tone of puzzlement in her voice. ~Actually, I cannot speak at all~ Aurora responded with a flurry of fingers, and Julia interpreting. ~All us mermaids are the same way.~ "Why are you all muted?" Simone asked, her voice now tinged with curiosity as well as puzzlement. ~All of us originally came here because we much needed breaks from work or whatever, and muting us is one of the ways used to emphasize that we are taking a break from our normal lives. Some of us also come with serious cases of laryngitis, and muting us in those cases gives our vocal chords a much needed rest.~ She paused for a few moments, then went on ~Actually, when your transformation is complete, you will want to be unable to speak...~ "Wow" was all Simone could think of saying just then. Aurora nodded her head and smiled at Simone's response, then went on ~You have heard of some of the old legends that mermaids were such fine singers sailors would willingly sail to their doom just so they could hear them up close, right?~ "I have." ~Well, there are also a few legends that say the sea gods got angry at us mermaids for willingly endangering sailors lives, so they took away our voices...~ Aurora spent some time relating how she and Nadina, the other mermaid member of the resort staff who was then on maternity leave, were certified sign language teachers who taught all incoming mermaids so they could communicate among themselves and with others more easily. ~We use a slightly modified version of ASL, we call it our 'mermaid dialect.' All of us mermaids can use it, even those of us who have fully webbed fingers.~ She then held up her hands so Simone could take a closer look, they were webbed down to the first knuckles and were noticibly stretchy. Aurora next got to telling Simone and her husband what the transformation process entailed. ~You will be given an injection in the shoulder, as though you were being vaccinated against the flu. You will lose consciousness almost instantly, and will remain so for four days. When you wake up, you will be a mermaid... ~Your legs will fuse together in a matter of seconds, we do ask that when you come in you wear a dress and not pants or shorts... ~After your legs fuse together, the middle will begin to calcify and reform into an extension of your spine and form the base for the muscles of your tail. Your original leg bones will dissolve and reform into muscle. You will be astonished at how much more powerful your tail will be than your legs... ~The nerves now controlling your legs will also be changed to give you full use and control of your tail when you wake up again. That is why you will be kept unconscious for the duration of your transformation, because otherwise you will be in continual discomfort. Some of the early volunteers decades ago experienced severe enough pain they said they would never have undergone the procedure if they had known that would happen...~ "Will I experience any pain when I wake up?" Simone now asked, with a bit of concern in her voice. Aurora was quick to address Simone's concern. ~No, you will have no pain whatsover. You won't even have any hunger pangs, because you will be fed intraveneously. You will need the nourishment, truth be told, because the transformation process does consume quite a bit of energy from you body... ~At the same time your lower body is changing internally, it will be changing externally as well. Your skin will, over the four days, gradually change into scales, and your feet will flatten and widen out to form your caudal fin... ~You might be interested to learn that the color of your scales and shape of your tailfin, whether or not you have pelvic fins or a fringe around your waist, all will be random. In the early experimental days we did not have the knowledge or means to predetermine the color of the scales and so forth...most of the test subjects actually enjoyed guessing what color tail they would end up with, so it was decided to leave those details to chance...~ "What if the color of my scales is different from what I originally wished for?" Simone asked. ~That will not be a problem. Part of your change will include subtly reprogramming your mind so however exactly you are changed is how you will want to be...you will be totally incapable of feeling any other way...~ Following some further elaboration of the enhanced swimming ability Simone would experience as a mermaid, Aurora enlightened her on how her upper body would and might be transformed as well. Here the changes would be primarily internal, as the outer surface of her lungs would become her gills, so she would be able to breathe while underwater. ~When you take your first breath while below the surface, your lungs will automatically deflate and your gills inflate. The process will take less than half a second, and the reverse will be the same when you return to the surface and resume breathing air...you can stay down as long as you like breathing only water, just like the fish do... ~The external slits for your gills will appear between some of your ribs. Although some writers and artists have had the gills in the neck, we have only had them among the ribs, both for greater water breathing capacity and because the ribs themselves offer greater protection to the gills against injury... ~You will not actually be wearing shells, although we mermaids appear to be doing just that. Instead, the selective DNA transformation process you would undergo will initially cause the nipples to smoothen and change color to match the rest of your breasts. The surface of your breasts will then harden, and eventually take on the texture and hardness of shells. They will be absolutely unremovable, but if a mermaid does get pregnant the labor process will also cause her breasts to revert to their pre change form, so she would be able to nurse her baby like any other new mother... ~The only other changes you might experience as part of the mermaid transformation process is the possibility of you having webbing added to your fingers, and having having your ears replaced by earfins. Your hearing will not be impaired in any way, indeed, mermaids sometimes report that they could hear better than before with earfins instead of ears... ~Your skin pigmentation will not be affected by your becoming a mermaid, nor would your hair color or texture, though recently some women have asked if their hair color could be changed for the duration of their time as a mermaid. We had never previously considered that idea, but we are now considering giving mermaid candidates that option, or at least giving them the choice of leaving it to random chance...~ Simone and her husband had many thoughts pass through their minds after the meeting concluded and they returned to their home. She was now certain she indeed wanted to spend her sabbattical year as a mermaid, and her husband had already pledged his full support for whatever choice she eventually made. So did their children when they got the news; indeed, Krista was positively excited when her mother told her what she anticipated doing in the coming near future. As welcoming as Aurora and the tranformation techs had been to Simone's volunteering to turned into a mermaid, they also urged her not to rush to a decision, and so told her to wait at least a day before making up her mind and then calling to inform them of her decision. Simone kept to the promise she had made at the end of the meeting, and waited until the morning of the second day following before picking up the phone and dialing......

I don't normally do clothed mermaids, but the above story suggests I should go that way. I will be using this set for future stories within my own universes. If so, normal conditions will apply.
