The marsh sirens don't sing. But their silence speaks for them. Their message is simple: Walk With Us. But this is a walk that means silence...forever.

On waking up to find a dismembered arm protruding from the floor, Claudia knows her privileged life is over. Claudia cannot recall how she came to this pass. She does know she is never getting out. It is all because she is guilty of falling in love, which is a sin no proper Victorian girl would commit. She knew when she took up with a man who was not her betrothed, she wouldn't have a happy end. She expected traditional marital boredom would be her punishment not starving to death in dank tunnels or being eaten by rats. Cast aside into an impossible hell with only an insane angel-woman for company, Claudia can barely remember the sins that earned her a seat in torment. Regardless of her fault in the matter, she will have to face terrors she never dreamed if she is to escape her prison. * Thank you all for reading.

She was sadly drowning. She met a pair of lovely eyes. She was slowly learning how to live without her. She quietly crashed onto the rocky shore. What was next for her? Copyright of ShanbaeXOXO 2017
