I admit I’ve long been fascinated by vampires but given how much there is still to learn about life beneath the waves that seems far more intriguing. Besides life on Earth evolved first in water and only much later became first amphibious then “land based and oxygen breathing” (A Short History of Nearly Everything By: Bill Bryson). If I could be a merperson than I could explore the seas at my liberty and catalogue, study, and collate information land based humans can gather only at tremendous expense.
