Stay Back! Stay back contains material NOT produced by Nancy Lorenz. I do not know the origin of the photo, it was given to me by a friend. The male body portion of the photo (Kevin Smith of Xena/Hercules fame) is NOT by the artist (Nancy Lorenz). The rest however, is. For the fish enthuseast - he's half pleccostamus.

Stay Back! The ship, large and swinging in the rolling hills of the ocean swell tips before a white-cap. At thrashing tails and tangled rope a group of hard-working men - fishermen and sailors - pull up thier bounty of the sea. Entwined in the rough deadly rope is a nubile form, flipping and rutting back to the water, her eyes filled with fear. "MERMAID!" calls a younger man, "We'll rip off her scales and make a fortune!" All of a sudden, the water surges. Strong hands grip the free hanging ropes that dangle down the side of the boat, and a rough spiked tail swings expertly, smacking back a terrified sailor. "It's a TRITON!" one cries, running below decks as the lithe muscled form untangles his kinfolk from the nets on board. With a smack of his tail to the deck they steal overboard, back into the sapphire depths below.
