This story had a bit more to it than I thought it would. After the captain goes down with his ship off the coast of Africa he's captivated willingly by The Siren. She confuses him and he doesn't care because he loves her. Thinks he loves her...well, he's not sure but as an undisclosed amount of time goes by he starts to wonder...how far from home is he? How long has it been? Where is he? He is a dominant man, a sea captain after all, and being ruled over and controlled by the Siren doesn't really sit well with him. The way this is written you can really understand where he is coming from and can relate yet you don't feel left out from the Siren's viewpoint either. I don't want to give away too much so the rest of why I liked this story can be seen after (SLIGHT SPOILER) they end up on land. I thought it was interesting that the author kept them contemporaneous with the ship going down...I keep debating whether or not that was a good move or not. Then I thought, it keeps the story on one specific track. Which is good. This isn't a story about time travel or world adventures. Its about one man's interaction with his Siren. Well written.
