Days 20 and 21 of #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 – Toad and Finned Folk.

Out on the tide rocks tonight, just past where the foam kisses the shore, a curious duet unfolded. A toad, squat and serious, throat ballooning like a semiopaque soap bubble, sang his creaky heart out. Across from him, a mermaid princess perched – scales glimmering like old bottle glass, her copper hair streaming in the sea breeze – listening as though he were the finest bard to ever grace the waves.

It’s a rare thing, land song meeting sea song. But sometimes, under the right sliver of moon, the world forgets where the water ends and where the air begins. Their music rippled across the shallows, drawing minnows and moths alike, everyone pausing for just a breath of wonder.

I like to think they traded secrets after the song – she teaching him how to hum with the tides, he showing her the pleasure of muddy toes.

Small magic happens every day if you sit still long enough to hear it. 🐸🌊✨
