Believe

The lake, a retention pond really, quivers oddly tonight.

A splash, a ripple, a breath, and there she is.

Mermaid, old, a black veil covering her face.

She extends a hand dripping with mud.

"I'll leave you with just one thing," she rasps.

She slithers back under the murky water.

On the bank, in the weeds, a carved stone, "Believe".
