I had a dream in which I was stranded on a deserted island with my sleepy puppy, who had already been there for some undetermined amount of time. Through the course of the dream, he eventually revealed to me that he was a merman. We spent weeks together building a shelter and just existing on this island, before I suddenly had an asthma attack. I couldn't breathe. I was choking out and he was tugging me towards the beach, throwing my arm over his shoulder and half carrying me to the water as I blacked out.

When I woke up, I was under water, and I could breathe. Looking down I found I had a tail of pink and gold scales in contrast to his green and gold. When I asked him "How??" he just smiled and said "Love changes you" and then we kissed before he was tugging me off into the depths to show me his world.

The image of that moment has lingered with me so I asked the talented zzedbear (twitter) to render it for me to keep.
