Hello? Lost and Found? Yes. Hi, my name is Arial Fin Fin. I’m in a bit of a bind. I seemed to have lost my top. I had it this morning when I went diving, but it seems to have disappeared.1
What does it look like? Well it’s kind of bluish green with gold specks that highlight my brown eyes very well. It’s more a bikini really. It goes great with my hair.2
No? Well, could you see if it washed up on shore? Someone must have seen it. Please. My breasts are really sagging here.3
Oh, thank you so much! I’ll give you my shell phone number so you can call me if you find it.4
Ready? Got a pen and paper? Ok its 124-Bubbles. Yes that’s what I said. Bubbles. B-U-B-L-E-S. Right. Just like it sounds.5
My address? I’m on the first rock north of the 31st pier.6
Yes. I’ll be sitting on my rock all day in front of my cave.7
Wait a minute. I seem to have lost something else.8
I can’t find the ocean!9
I’m a fish out of water!10
Help!11

Just for Fun ok. to answer the questions i've been getting on this one. i wrote this for a picture inspired contest. the pic showed a mermaid sitting on a rock, topless and holding a shell to her ear. i intentionally misspelled bubbles cause i wanted her to come off as a ditz. hope you enjoy reading it Shawn

LOL very cute but short sad face i wanted to read more good luck in the contest.
-
umm...ok... :3
-
o wow lol. I think some of my friends could be mermaids too. this was very funny and very creative. the boob sagging part made me laugh. thank you for entering.
-
Funny!
This is a really different idea, and is very funny as well. I like the way that the mermaid is talking to someone, and is answering the questions, a really clever idea. I love the way you took it from a picture prompt too. This is really original.
Thank you for entering and well done! -
Haha, aww this really did make me laugh, and it definetly brightened my day
awesome job!
-
That was really amusing. It definitely made me smile!
I would have loved for this to be longer, though. This would be so cool if it were extended a little! Maybe you could write about what happens when they get there? By the way, very original and quite creative. I never would've thought to write about a mermaid. -
Very cute, simple and creative. I laughed at the phone number- 124-Bubbles, ha ha, great. Thanks for entering best of luck!
*KAT* -
Very cute and original stuff. Considering it has been inspired by the picture, really a good job done!
-
*riotous laughter*
This was good.. I enjoyed the twist at the end of the story where she couldn't find the ocean...hehe

This is a very cute story! The shell phone bit had me giggling.
-
Cute stuff. I like the orginal thought here.
Good luck, mate!
-
Even poor Arial has one of those days
Thanks for entering and good luck with the contest. -
!
Very cute
Good Luck! -
Worth a Silver at least!
Thank you for writing and posting this, delightful. I do so love ditzy Mermaids, but then, I was a sailor for a few years and I was always looking for a topless one.
Thank you...
Amicus...

LOL oh my god that is cute and funny! Congrats on the silver trophy for it. LMAO I loved that "shell phone" line. Now that is very clever! And losing the ocean? lol oh my!
-
awwww so cute... this was awesome!! it made me laugh at the end, and you did a great job
-
Shell Phone?
I sea! Is this part of CURRENT literature?
(Sorry...just thought I would add a little...DRY humor to your TAIL...er..ah..TALE!)

DELIGHTFUL!
I enjoyed this very much. But I do have a question. How can a mermaid wear a bikini?

This one had me smiling, and Ms.FinFin was some what a fish out of water I agree. But I bet someone found that top and kept it just to see her sag a little...You have a beautiful sense of humor.....write ON...novy
-
That was kinda funny, but how do you loose the ocean? I suppose if you can loose the ocean then its no surprise you can loose your top.
-
This was cute! I Liked it Was the mermaid a blond and can't spell BUBBLES?
-
lol! Really cute and charming. I really enjoyed this small story. It made laugh and smile.
The only thing I noticed is that you spelled 'bubbles' wrong at one point. -
Cute
p5 'B-U-B-B-L-E-S'
This is funny. How do you lose an ocean? I thought mermaids were always topless. Their hair usually conveniently covers their bosom. How long can a mermaid last without water? This is a cute shorty.

THIS IS HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!! lol I was chuckling the whole time. HAha I like the way your write. Fantastic! You should write more of these.

haha i like this a lot. it is very funny and also creative.
I liked the shell phone bit... that was genius.
the only error i spotted was where you spelt out bubbles letter for letter... you missed out on a B that should be after the U.
anyway, great write. I will be sure to check out some of your other stuff! -
Cute and very clever!!!!! Loved the humor in it! Glad you did submit it and it was fun to read! I truly want to thank you for entering my "Shells Among the Sea" contest!
