Merman

"Follow us to the float." Ordered Macy as I stood there naked.

"Wait, can I have something to wear first?" I was still as self-conscious as ever after being treated like a piece of meat.

"Your costume is over by the float. You will put it on after we show you what you are going to be doing on the float."

I was both puzzled and worried. I thought I was just going to smile and wave on the float. Could Macy have something more complex in mind? It later turned out that she did.

Macy led me outside of the tent into a building with a large storage facility. I was totally freaking out about going outside again so I covered myself regardless of what the staff might think of me. None of the other performers were actually going out of the tent butt-naked. Thankfully, no one out on the street spotted me as I entered the side of the building through a huge parking garage. It was there I finally saw the float I was going to ride.

"Holy...what is that?" I stood in awe before a large float comprised of wavy blue cardboard trimmed to look like ocean waves. There was all manner of sea creatures decorating the exterior of the 'shore' that was piled up at the center of the float. The other costumed performers riding it were dressed like hula girls and mermaids sitting on the fake rocks that arose from the shore. The whole thing looked like a mythical beach set-up but what caught my full attention was the very large fish bowl that rose upon the sand dune at the center of the float. It was big, round, clear glass that was larger than the width of an outdoor shed and filled with water. Next to the float itself was a mobile staircase that Macy ascended.

"Well? Don't just sit there gawking Ahab. Come on up here." Macy called. I was so dumbstruck by the site of this impressive float that I followed her up the staircase without really thinking. When I reached the top standing beside Macy, I looked down and saw my reflection in the pool of water within the fish bowl.

"I don't see how..." before I could finish my sentence, Macy smacked me so hard on the butt that I fell right off the staircase and splashed right into the water with my arms flailing everywhere. There was laughter everywhere in the garage as the whole staff got a look at the naked guy who fell into the fish bowl and now he was all wet in an entirely see-through tank where everyone surrounding the float could see everything inside it. Everything.

I resurfaced from the water planting my feet on the floor of the fishbowl. In standing position, the water came up to my pecs. I shook my fists up at Macy, "What the hell was that for?!" Macy couldn't answer me as she and all the rest of the staff were laughing their heads off. As I looked around at my onlookers I noticed how I was literally on display for everyone; up to my pecs in water in a clear fishbowl everyone was pointing at my flaccid dick. Turning as red as a tomato, I covered up my junk wondering how I could get out of this transparent prison.

Just then, another splash erupted beside me. I looked up to see Sylvia waving at me from the top of the mobile stairs with Macy. They just threw down my costume, "Put that on Ahab," I grabbed what appeared to be a large blue mermaid's fin. "basically your going to be a merman. We need you to just swim in circles in that tank and smile at the crowd. When you need to come up for air, just lean on the edge and wave at the people. Make it look exciting." Though I anticipated I was going to be a sideshow piece, I didn't think it was going to be this elaborate. How was I supposed to wear this once I reached my destination? I couldn't even run in this thing. Still, it was clothing, so I squeezed my legs awkwardly into the fin much to the amusement of my voyeurs who watched my privates squirm and jiggle as I pulled the fin up to my waist in the water. Macy instructed the crew to pour more water in the bowl so the level would rise high enough so I could reach the edge. Sylvia tossed me down a necklace that was just an orange scallop-design around a string. I placed it around my neck as the water levels in the tank began to rise so I could reach the edge. I swam in a circle or two to get a feel for the costume. Leaning over the side, I spotted George down below looking up at me. "Well," I wiggled my fin playfully "How do I look?"

"You are the sexiest mermaid I have ever seen!" George smiled "But you still look better naked Ahab."

I blushed at her comment.

The door to the garage began to open suddenly. "Alright everybody! This is the real deal! Good luck out there!" Macy shouted.

I felt ill-prepared for what awaited me outside as the float began to move forward. Everything was happening so fast, but I had **** but to adapt quickly as I leaned on the edge of that fishbowl pondering what was going to happen to me during this parade.
