2021 Hugo Award Finalist - Best Short Story (approx. 17 pages)
This is a modern fable about a mermaid who longs to visit other stars and other worlds. When she gets the chance, she is warned there will be consequences, but she is nevertheless determined to go. The moral of the story is that we all face life-changing decisions, particularly in regard to choosing a career and where to live, and sometimes those decisions mean leaving the safely and comfort of home, and the love of family. Whatever the outcome, we make do with our decisions because that's all we can do. Perhaps not too profound, but in this case it makes for a sweet, relaxing story.
