I love these haunting images of life underwater. They make me think of Atlantis
It makes me think of mermaids, but not The Little Mermaid
I looked up scary mermaid movies and found H.P. Lovecraft’s Dagon
What story do you see in these images? Mermaids and Sea-monsters, or people living mundane daily lives who just happen to live at the bottom of the sea?
#vss very short story
After the war, many people returned home to live in what remained of their homes under the sea. Many were already occupied by sentient sea-creatures. Thus the war began anew.

Today’s theme is: Belonging
poem form: Clarity Pyramid
Trust
Honest
Speak the truth
Wrapped in acceptance
Home in fearless embrace
Calm in common interests
“Freedom from back-stabbing voices”
Note: For this poem, a mind-map of “Belonging” was very helpful.

Write a 25-word version of your story:
After the dam broke, they lived peacefully in their underwater city until the mermaids moved into the area. All that constant singing day and night!

Sady, I fear my opinion of Dagon (the movie) is that its awful schlock. It deviates badly from Lovecraft’s work.
It is hard to find a movie which is true to the wonderfully antiquated darkness of Lovecraft’s writing. The best one I found was a fairly recent version of Call of Cthulhu which was made in the style of a 1930’s silent movie. Now, this is a film I can recommend!
