In looking closely at my new template, I noticed at the very bottom of the page that it says "(If she floats or drowns.)"

I'd like to say that I believe she floats. She starts to sing a melodious song, begging the sea gods to please spare her. Her voice sounds so sweet that they calm the waters and create a soft tide to carry her to the shore.

Or perhaps a handsome fisherman would hear her screaming and would steer his fishing boat to her and pull her out of the water. They'd fall in love at first sight, and he'd take her to the shore in his fishing boat and take her to his mother's house where she could warm up by a fire in a robe while his mother washed her dress. Then she'd walk home, but her and the fisherman would court and eventually get married. They'd live in the little cape town in a cute house on the coast, have children and grow old together by the sea.

Or it could be that the sea is sucking her in for a reason. My theory is she could be a mermaid. She's scared because she doesn't realize what is happening, but as the sea is taking her under, she is developing a tail, and the ability to breathe underwater. And after she has made this transformation, the mermaid community welcomes her as the lost mermaid queen.

Things don't have to be so grim all the time, you see.
