Siren
by Lisa VillaMil
Sometimes we cannot deny the Siren’s call. Sometimes our souls need to run.
Such is the case for Daughter, whose grief sends her spiraling, and eventually sends her running away to the sea, where there is Quiet in this loud year, the year of her Mother’s death.
Mother liked Quiet as well, and she shared that love with Daughter, sailing in their sailboat, Calliope. But now Mother is that dead Quiet… or is she...
Sometimes we cannot deny the Siren’s call. Sometimes our souls need to run.
Such is the case for Daughter, whose grief sends her spiraling, and eventually sends her running away to the sea, where there is Quiet in this loud year, the year of her Mother’s death.
Mother liked Quiet as well, and she shared that love with Daughter, sailing in their sailboat, Calliope. But now Mother is that dead Quiet… or is she? What does Daughter hear in the storm, why does it sound so familiar? Why does this voice call to her?
Meanwhile Father reaches for his Daughter across a divide of raging water and storm clouds, constructing a makeshift lighthouse in his neighborhood, praying to guide her home.
But the voice is so alluring to Daughter. And the guilt she feels propels her towards it. Because what if it’s mom?
Siren is about running away; it’s about loss; it’s about family; it’s about forgiveness.
It’s about guiding each other home.
