"She's Siren"

 

The sea was my sanctuary, the waves lulling me into a sense of calm. But that all changed when I met her. Her beauty was striking, her voice like an angel's. I foolishly swam closer to her, unaware of the danger that lurked beneath her enticing exterior. She was a mermaid, a creature of the sea who lured men to their untimely demise.

At first, I was entranced by her. I invited her to swim with me, and we explored the depths together. But as the days passed, I began to notice a shift in her demeanor. Her once playful nature became erratic and unpredictable, and her eyes took on a sinister gleam.

One fateful night, I watched in horror as she attacked a passing ship, dragging the crew down to their watery graves. I knew then that I had to escape before I suffered the same fate. But she was quick, and she chased after me relentlessly.

I swam for what felt like hours until I finally reached the shore. I gasped for air and collapsed onto the sand, grateful to be alive. But my relief was short-lived. I could hear her haunting song in the distance, a constant reminder of the terror that awaited me in the sea.

From that day forward, I lived in fear, haunted by the memory of that horrible night. I warned others of the mermaid's treachery, but no one seemed to believe me. I was alone, trapped in a world where the most beautiful creatures were often the most deadly.

And so, I remained on land, forever scarred by the horror that lay beneath the waves. The mermaid had claimed yet another victim, but this time, it was not my life that she had taken. It was my soul.
