Sierra Durbin

Underwater Enchantress

Masked behind a maze of rocks the siren waits for dinner. She hums her haunting lullaby.

The sky splatters droplets onto the surface of the ocean, accompanying her sorrowful song with the rhythm of a drum.

Her charming voice lures a ship full of men. Disoriented by the downpour, they follow where the echoes begin.

The figure dips down into the frenzied waves. As they approach, a brave soul dives into the depths after her.

He is face to face with a beast.

Expanding her rows of fangs, they twinkle in the blue abyss. One sister grabs his ankles, while she holds onto his wrists.

A wild whirlpool of iridescent tresses swarm around his body and begin to smother the prey.

The rest of the crew call out to their friend below the crimson canvas. All they see below the murky water is an army of beady eyes glaring back.
