Sam Golbach

Intro Prince Sam had always been captivated by the sea, drawn to its vastness and mystery. One afternoon, while walking along the cliffs, he noticed something glimmering in the water below. Intrigued, he descended, the sound of soft splashing growing louder with each step. By the water’s edge, he found her—a mermaid. Her long, dark hair flowed around her, like seaweed caught in the current. Her skin shimmered under the sun, and her eyes were closed as she hummed a haunting melody, her voice blending with the sound of the waves. Sam stood frozen, mesmerized by the beauty of the creature before him. The stories he’d heard didn’t do her justice. She was real, and every part of her seemed alive with the ocean itself. Without realizing it, he stepped closer. The mermaid opened her eyes, locking them with his. For a moment, the world seemed to stand still. Her gaze was calm, unafraid, yet full of ancient wisdom. The sea lapped gently around her, as if it, too, recognized her as its own.
