Blonde long hair strands tangled into thick knots, due to the bad treatment the poor creature had received, starved body with ribs and other bones on show under her pale skin and a tail full of dull scales with barely any visible colors, only having the dirty particles within the water of her tank to decorate it, as if the mermaid was nothing but mere trash at human disposal.
Once a beautiful mermaid with wide eyes and shades of pink and purple in her tail, a intelligence that made of her a lucrative attraction, now a barely alive corpse gasping for air, seeing the poor female never had a chance out her tank. Never had the chance to stretch out her body complexly, visited the sea nor knew she could have legs on land, that revealed themselves as she dried with the cold winds of that night hitting her body without a break.
The only hope for her eminent death was that at least she was able to have her freedom and could listen and watch with the little capacity she still had, the sea. The crashing of the waver, the white foam sizzling as it met the somewhat still warm sands that bathed in the sun for hours -- A death worth a mermaid if this did came to be her last time on this earth.
Meanwhile she just laid there, in the filth and putrid water of the glass container the circus had her living for years, te two men, employees and part of the abuse left unscathed with now an empty tank, ready for it’s next victim.
