Standing alone at the edge
of the cliff she stares out
over the ocean where a
ship floats away.
In the distance stood a castle
as it looked like the ship
was heading towards it
she wondered who was on it.
She felt the breeze touch her face
and smells the salt from the ocean
as the wind picks up causing
the waves to increase in size.
As the waves crash into the
ship and soon destroy it making
the people on board scream out
for help to anyone who listens.
The sirens heard their call
but ignored it for it wasn't
their game for they enjoyed
luring them away with their calls.
Soon the mermaid heard the calls
and took the men down to their lairs
making them drown for the water
was over their heads.
So this was the end of the ship
as the young woman watched
them fall to their fate with
sorrow in her heart.

great take on the prompt I really thought you did a great job. Nice flow from start to finish and you made a very intresting story. I like this part the best:
The sirens heard their call

their game for they enjoyed
