Lost and Found Treasures
Mermaid’s lost charm recovered 53 years later
In “Weeki Wachee Springs”:http://www.weekiwachee.com/, Florida you can see real live mermaids. Well, sorta. Women in mermaid suits anyhow. They put on an underwater theater of sorts. They’ve been doing this since the early 1950’s, which is where this story begins.
It seems that two of the “merpeople” Florence and George fell in love, and got married. Florence was later killed in a car accident, along with one of their two children. Fast forward over fifty years.
One of today’s generation of mermaids happen to spot this small silver charm glinting in the sand near the area where the mermaids perform. It says Florence on the front and Charlie on the back. Charlie is still living, and the charm was returned to him — a symbol of his past love, and tragedy.
