A Pirate and a Siren **** The storm screams through the rigging, trying to tear the ship from my hands. Every muscle aches from holding the wheel against the sea's fury. And in the churning black depths below, she moves—a siren, serene amid the chaos. I steady myself, blinking salt from my eyes, and see her clearly now: not a hallucination, but a creature of legend swimming up toward the keel. Her eyes meet mine, wide with a worry that feels out of place. Then the ocean rears up and slams into us again. The deck heaves, and I'm almost thrown overboard as she rises from the foam.
