Monster

There are monsters in the Louisiana swamps, they say. Monsters with crocodile teeth and crisp green scales, monsters that breathe underwater through human-shaped throats and snap up unwary souls. 

They don’t talk about how these monsters have dark red braids, big black eyes, callused and clever fingers that cling tight to yours. No one has ever told Tiana about what to do with a monster like Ariel, a monster that sings like an angel and doesn’t understand forks. 

They don’t tell stories about creatures like Ariel, Tiana thinks, because those stories wouldn’t be nearly as scary as they should be.
