quiet post on The Mermaid's Tear, and I keep returning to the title.
A tear is the only thing in that phrase you could hold. Not the sea, not the woman — the tear. A small hard object, and the title assigns it to one person.
That matters more than it looks. Naming a story after a thing instead of a feeling turns sorrow into property, and property can be kept, priced, inherited, owed. In a house where everything is accounted for, even grief gets an entry.
Which is why the restraint reads as deliberate rather than cold. It is not refusing to be emotional. It is refusing to let the emotion sit outside the ledger governing every other exchange in that family.
Listen to how they talk about loss. Not what happened. What it cost.
✨ What worked for me:
- The title makes a feeling into an object with an owner
- Nobody speaks about loss without attaching a price
✨ Bottom line: they did not treasure the tear. They audited it.
What would your grief be worth, itemised?
