"There once was a Mermaid that had an entire stream to herself. She played all day and swam without care. Then one day some threw a goldfish into her stream. She was able to evade him for a very long time...but one day after he had grown to an enormous size, she could no longer out~swim him. He caught her and she struggled so hard but could not get away.....she was very scared and sad that her life would soon be over."
I like what you wrote about this doll, and wanted to make sure I didn't just delete it when I deleted the contest, so here is what you wrote when you entered this doll.

It's more a beautiful kind of sadness, if I were a philosopher I would see dozens of hidden meanings, but I won't ponder too long as I might get lost in the land of your awesome doll.
