Mermaid of the Sands

Mermaid of the Sands follows Bird, a loner with a child-like heart, surviving in an arid, post-apocalyptic desert. His days are spent repurposing discarded objects from today into makeshift treasures, creating a fragile sense of purpose in a world devoid of connection.
 

Bird’s isolated existence is shattered when he discovers something extraordinary—a woman, Muireann, buried in the sand. To Bird, she is a miracle, a precious jewel he can protect and care for. For the first time, his prayers for companionship seem answered. 
 

But Muireann's presence is enigmatic and otherworldly. She speaks of her underwater home and reveals fragments of a past marked by tragedy and exile. As their relationship deepens, Bird becomes captivated by her stories, believing them to be only fantasies. But as they fall in love,  her yearning for the sea becomes unbearable. Caught between the barren desert and the siren call of the ocean, their love story becomes a poignant exploration of hope, sacrifice, and the enduring pull of home.
