Style: Found-footage horror realism with high-definition cinematic clarity. Prose: In the middle of a vast, calm blue ocean under a bright sunny sky, a terrifying creature—a gaunt, zombie-like mermaid—clings to the side of a small wooden boat. She has long, matted wet hair, pale greyish skin, and large, pitch-black sunken eyes, wearing a faded, water-logged olive t-shirt. Her lower half is a thick, scaly green tail thrashing in the water. Cinematography: Eye-level POV from someone inside the boa
