Water Baby is a quirky slice of science fiction/horror set in fictional Calypso, a flooded community located in what was once southern Florida, USA. Water Baby was inspired by my love of mermaid folklore and modern day rumors of the disastrous not-so-distant future effects of climate change on Florida’s topography.
