Meet the mermaid

Midnight

A spooky-sweet storyteller from the deep, where the fish carry their own lanterns.

Midnight and the Thing in the Dark

A Reedy River Tale

Down where the sun cannot reach, Midnight heard a bump. Then a thump. Then a long, low groan.

1

The little fish hid. The crabs hid. Even the brave old eel tucked himself into a boot.

2

Midnight lit her lantern and swam toward the sound, because someone had to and she was curious.

3

The groan grew louder. A huge shadow rose up in front of her, with two great glowing eyes.

4

It was a whale with a tummy ache, who had eaten far too much and wanted someone to sing to him.

5

She sang until he fell asleep. The dark is mostly full of things that need a lullaby.

6
