Ishilove: Great job, Roy! You never disappoint. NEVER. I loved your last update. When men sleep, a lot of strange things happen in the spirit. It's only the grace of God that keeps us in this very strange world.

Your penultimate update, I'm sorry to say, did not do it for me. Now this is strictly my opinion, dearie, so don't take it the wrong way. Jenny's narration seems some how...off... Now I know this story is a supernatural thriller, but then... Jenny's explanation of the origins, deccimation and resurrection of the man-animals just seems incomplete...too convoluted to be exactly believable. There are also some historical inaccuracies, especially in the part where history books were burned and new history written. Africa has always had a unique system of keeping historical records in pre-literate society, even way before the Arabisation of certain areas of the continent, so the 'burning books part is totally off'. Eurocentric historeographers of the 19th and early 20th century argued that Africa has no history because pre-literate Africa had no writing, but they have been disproved overtime by African historians. In other words, we did not write books before the whitemen came, but we had other methods of historical record keeping, like oral tradition. Hence we cannot burn books that never existed. It is for this reason that when I saw 'history books burned', I was sent off kilter.

I am also a bit confused about the man-animal been able to rip mermaids/mermen to pieces (before they were deccimated by the whitemen). The animals you described are land animals vis elephants, baboons, leopards etc, so is it that they could kill the mer-people when they were in their human form, or that they could go into water and kill them in their natural habitat?

Where was this castle that the baboon man was invited to? In the water or on land? Was the baboon man able to retain his power in the water kingdom, where mermaids are the most powerful?

I am left with too many confusing, rather than intriguing, questions, Roy.

All in all, keep doing a good job, Roy, but try not to rush anything.
