The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 67

This was also when the turbulent sounds of gunfire started on the deck. The unavoidable battle had begun.

I tried pressing against the wound on my abdomen, but the intense pain was enough to silence me. I could only lay on the floor as I raised my head with difficulty, watching the ongoing battle on deck.
