I wonder what experiences rest encoded between these lines. Beautiful.

Beautiful love the way you portrayed the resilience of the sailor holding on white knuckled never letting go.

Thank you so much, buddy 💙🖤💚

Mind bending. Never heard this myth told like this. Darkly romantic!

Night Cracks's avatar

I didn't know anything about the myth until I started this journey with Serena. My input to the story was the sailor's mysery and the necessity of commiting sins in order to survive.

Thank you, Emmett!

Oooh this is a good one! A nice alternative to the typical mermaid/siren/selkie story...

Serena's avatar

Serena just entered the chat... 😅

Mancee Elendew's avatar

Whoops just reread my comment and corrected “your” to “the”. My bad. Sorry.

I LOVED it. And I can’t wait to check out more of your work!

Serena's avatar

No need for corrections, we're all in this together. Right back at ya 😄🤍

Mancee Elendew's avatar

Thanks - I do stick my foot in my mouth sometimes...

Have an amazing day - I'll see you in another comment section somewhere else on here soon I'm sure ;-)

Night Cracks's avatar

You can do that? 💪

Very impressive...

No wonder you resonated with our sea zeal/salt 💙💙💙

This was so pretty, guys.

If I press it to my ear, I can hear the ocean.

Serena's avatar

Beware of the songs... I might lure you in... 😘🤍

Night Cracks's avatar

I know you might. That's what harpoons are for 💘

Serena's avatar

Was talking to Simmons 😝

Night Cracks's avatar

Oh my bad then. Sorry to interrupt. Would you like to kiss my sister now?

Serena's avatar

Stop making a scene, I gave you my collab flower...

Night Cracks's avatar

Yeah, sure. I will just sit on my cuckold chair and watch you two have fun. Don't mind me 💔💔💔

Night Cracks's avatar

Ocean songs are so alluring, aren’t they?

I’m glad it spoke to your siren soul.

Serena's avatar

The support is overwhelming. Thank you everyone for your lovely, kind words! 🙏🤍✨️

Salty love and tragic sea magic. Beautiful. 🩶

Night Cracks's avatar

I hoped it might be your thing 🖤

nina's avatar

Wait… am I now secretly at the back of your mind?

Night Cracks's avatar

Of course.

We did two poems. You painted something pretty for us. You leave comments (which seem like you really read and liked it) under everything I create...

I care about my readers-writers!

nina's avatar

Readers-writers? I thought you were going to say friends! 😭

Damien's avatar

Y'all! This is amazing! Love every word that you've allowed to sail through this, crashing against the waves of the sea. Beautiful!

Night Cracks's avatar

Thank you, Damien!

I kind of… actually not kind of… I really envy @Serena her geography.

I guess playing with shantie-vibes, sirens and my cannibalistic tendencies was the only choice.

Damien's avatar

That’s a poem in and of itself. You’re both fucking freakishly talented. I fucking love it. Do more of these please.

Serana and Night Cracks. That is so good. Dark, close to the bone, inside it in the marrow, under the skin where you can feel your veins pulse in time with the page as you're reading.

So so good.

Awesome!
