Mermaid
The story takes in a place where free imagination is not allowed. The main characters are the boy who likes to imagine things and a fish who the boy visualizes as a mermaid. The boy had gone arrested by the authority and by using Pavlov's classical conditioning theory, he was conditioned to think unconsciously that such thing as a mermaid does not exist. The climax is the part where he escapes the facility and returns home, finding out that there was no longer a fish that he had imagined before. In the end, he lets himself go free to the ocean and his imagination returns. The theme of the story is that nothing can interfere with one's mind and imagination.
