Mer-Gojyo, rising from the deep! (Part 7/?)

This past week was kind of a crapfest, and today, so far, has just been icing on the cake. To give myself a break and a sense of accomplishment, I thought I'd post the next part of this story before I have to focus completely on family stuff for Easter weekend.

Given that it's a rough draft, I still feel pretty good about this piece. (Well, okay. I was going to wait to post this until I finished the scene that I think should come after this, but what the heck? I can just make that other scene into another, fleshed-out part.) Still in the nebulous territory of PG/Y7, I think. Still, alas, without a title. I don't have any idea what to call a story like this.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
