Sirens

Sirens

These are not fairy tales. Ok, I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides the other night again and got inspired by the deadly mermaids. I loved how they made them more like the original dark creepy monsters that lured sailors to their doom instead of falling in love and singing while brushing hair (actually there was a mermaid who fell in love with Philip....and there was a fair bit of singing....never mind)

The hauntingly mesmerising stream of sound wound around the men’s minds, holding them still and absorbed in the words that flowed from her lips. It stole down to the depths of the ocean, snagging and pulling up more unearthly sirens that rose from the water to rest seductively on the boats’ edge. Whatever their idea of beauty was, they embodied it.
