    🌊 Her Name is MINDISS: The African Mermaid Queen 🌊

    In the far West African city of Fatick, there's a powerful deity named Mindiss who lives deep in the sea. She's the Queen of the Waters, loved and respected by everyone. When the local market is bustling with laughter, joy, and money flowing everywhere, it's believed that Mindiss is among the market stalls. Sometimes, she's disguised as a merchant selling fresh seafood, and other times she's a happy buyer enjoying the market.

    Mindiss is usually peaceful and kind, but there's one important rule: never make fun of her waters or joke about the sea. If you do, you'll face her anger and a heavy punishment.

    One day, Waly, a young boy from Fatick who grew up in France, came back to visit with his two friends. They decided to have some fun at the beach. Not knowing the local traditions, they made a big mistake—they urinated in Mindiss's waters.

    That night, Mindiss turned herself into a beautiful, attractive young woman and went to the nightclub where the boys were partying. She brought along two small fish and turned them into two other beautiful girls. With alcohol in their system and seeing nothing but fun ahead, the boys followed these enchanting women to the beach.

    At the beach, the women asked the boys to take off their clothes. Eager and a bit tipsy, the boys did so without hesitation. The women undressed too and then ran away, shouting, "Let's play hide and seek!" The boys, excited and curious, chased after them.

    The chase led them to a secluded spot where the women's voices called out to them. When they reached the place, they found themselves facing a huge mermaid. The two beautiful women turned back into fish, flopping on the ground. The boys were shocked and terrified, unable to believe what they were seeing. Their minds couldn't handle the reality, and they went mad.

    Their screams echoed across the beach as Mindiss watched, feeling both sadness and resolve. The boys had broken the sacred rule, and they had to face the consequences.
