Mermaid of the Oasis
Flashing lights danced within the aircraft cabin. The signs of danger swirled with the air as it conveyed certain death to its passengers. A siren sang in harmony with the screams of those beside Ammon. His best friend yelled into his ear like a muted television. He grabbed his hand and held it tight when he felt his stomach leap as the plane plummeted. He read the lips of his friend, “Ammon, I just wanted to tell you —” as fire protruded from behind his head.

Come and get it!” A shilling landed at the boy’s feet in his hat, and he nodded his thanks. His long black fringe flopping over his eyes, “Thank you Kindly sir,” He handed the gentlemen a newspaper, with the headline on the front and he took it without a word of thanks and began reading as he walked, not even looking Jack in the eye. It had not been a good shift so far. Despite the bustling crowds, no one seemed interested in the papers he flogged for the newsagent. They all fl...
