The world has been warped.

Ghostly #sirens fill ruined cities with their songs, luring out survivors and slurping sanity out of their brains... #vss365 #horror #supernatural #microfiction #flashfiction

I definitely did then I didn't
then I wanted to then I didn't
exactly feel like it for about
1+1 months here recently
but now I do

believe in sirens.

I definitely hear something
in every exhaled, baddest one,
then idk if it's only my favorite
siren's song, or all
of their voices.

The Coven protects its own
as witches advocate
a strict non kissing
fraternization policy
with mortal men like me

#Sirens therefore blared
when are tongues entwined
on her front porch
as an automated
spell alarm activated
turning me into a eunuch

Ouch(sigh)

"Please."

"What?"

" #Sirens trigger his PTSD."

"Well, I'm a banshee, not a siren."

#Sirens used to lure sailors to their deaths. I hired them to lure hungry folks to my nautical-themed seafood restaurant. The sirens captivated the guests with their singing, and my restaurant was fully booked for months... #vss365 #flashfiction #microfiction #greekmythology #mythology #fantasy

I can lie
No wonder
I love to sleep
now that the dreams are nicer

I can if you knew
How’d you know tho?
Would a siren call me out
Would a sea siren tell the truth

Somehow i doubt seduction is deceptive
If it would no wonder i get wood
Lie’s a lifesaver
… jawbreaker

The #sirens meant only one thing - the killer bunnies breached the quarantine zone in Colorado. #vss365 #microfiction #flashfiction #bunnies #horror #humor

"Well, I'm off!" Riz said happily.
"Not that I'm complaining about a few hours peace, but where are you going?"
"Ta judge da #sirens singin contest!"
"The same sirens who wanted to skin you last time because you called them all tone deaf? Have fun!"

At the #edge of the universe I met my opposite number from next door. It was a surreal #experience. He was so happy. Both of us the greatest explorers of all. Then the #sirens began to sound. His ship had taken a bite out of mine. And I was next on my doppelganger's menu.

Tree frogs chirruped as cicadas’s legs rubbed their woeful song. A toad hopped into the pond, surprising the koi with a splash.

Weighted at the bottom, she heard none of the robust sounds of summer, not even the ear piercing #sirens from the police cars heading her way. #vss365

For #vss365 on the theme of #sirens. A sonnet from my forthcoming collection "But It's Always Been Like This" (JCStudio Press)

placid ponderings
drift in pools of reflection
sirens silent now

#vss365 #sirens #haiku #writing #poetry

The sirens still wait
for the lonely
on their odyssey
No lighthouse
No compass of restraint
A poison song
in their veins
Bodies numb
and then the sirens come
#vss365 #sirens #poetry

Drawing me in again
The #sirens call from the void,
But it must wait, my love.

#vss365

There were singing women who drew men to their demise: #sirens. Now, they blare a different tone through dense, damaged city streets. They call me, camera held, from blocks away. Miles through my scanner. I crawl through the night towards them, yearning for the perfect shot; it will end me.
#vss365

we've trembled enough
in dead silence

forced to drop anchor
in their #spineless sea

it's time we stand
with #valor

rise up & draw upon
our own certainty

refusing to be pawns
for a price

in our own damn
country

shout along with the #sirens
come October 17th

#vss365 #inkMine #poetry

Her coffee cools
as she watches the traffic
Nearby,
two people speak a language
she hasn’t heard in years
The #sirens rise
between the buildings
cutting through a sentence
she never hears finished
The bill arrives
There are streets
she knows well
that she still takes
to see where they lead

#vss365

Yeah, well, my generation made dance music with air raid #sirens and nuclear fallout warnings. Might as well have some fun before the apocalypse, right?
#vss365

#Sirens sing to sailors
enthrall them at the wheel
they turn the boat to face them
it splinters at the keel

they thrash under the water
the song vibrates just so
surrender to the darkness
a terrible way to go

He felt the soft kiss of snowflakes upon his face as he lay in the snow. He'd never #experienced such a calm moment. He could even hear the snow falling. He didn't feel pain, though he knew he should. As it grew more peaceful, he heard the #sirens. He hoped they'd get there soon.
