Overall impression: This is a delightful story of a mermaid. I like the creative idea, and how it is developed. The setting and character could use even more descriptive development. The story flows well and is easy to read.
Characterization: The mermaid is not named. Her account is interesting, and her interaction with the world makes for a good story.
Dialogue: Good dialogue that advances the story.
Area(s) for improvement: I have some suggestions.
