of being Selkie—yeah right! That sounds like your typical family’s everyday drama—yeah right! Not even in Hollyweird does that shit happen.

She aced the interview with the oil company and would start her new job in two weeks. She would work as the new Drilling Fluids Engineer, most often referred to as the ‘Mud Man’. Or ‘Mud Person’ as it pertained to her situation on the oil platform in the North Sea, off the coast of Durness, Scotland. With her degree as a petroleum geologist in hand, but brief time working in the field, she applied for the mud engineer position. The limited extent of her fieldwork occurred during summers and…
