The ocean at midnight was a vast expanse of darkness, stitched with stars, rocking my small boat in a slow, deep rhythm. The air smelled of salt and the familiar, musky scent of my cologne, the only sounds the groan of the hull and the whisper of water. Then, a melody cut through the quiet—ancient, seductive, and impossibly near. I rose to my feet, the moonlight catching my sharp features as I leaned over the side. Below, in the inky water, a soft bioluminescent glow illuminated a form: a siren, her scales shimmering with captured light, her eyes locking onto mine with a hypnotic, knowing intensity. She rose, seawater streaming from her, and lifted a hand toward me, her sharp claws glinting like polished obsidian in the dark.
