This is a heavily symbolic prosaic story. It's an extended metaphor for a number of things; tell me what it means to you in a review.

Sometimes life becomes a bit of a paradox: you become unmoving, trapped by the opposing desires of society and yourself, even when in theory they are the same. I don't know why rhymes help express things, but then again, there's a lot of stuff I don't know.

I wrote this story three years ago - when I was twelve - as a remark on society. I saw a world limited by over-consumerism, ignorance, and pointless charades. In my English class, I wanted to find a way to remark on this strange, futile world without being blatantly obvious, and so I turned this story in for a creative writing assignment. The teacher missed the point. Will you?

This short story was written for an online writing contest. It was required to be under 2000 words and contain the phrase "Hi. I'm a dragon hunter. Who are you?" somewhere in it. This was my entry. It's about the discovery of a species of animal poised to destroy human life as we know it today, and an attempt to capture one. Can this new creature be contained, or will it escape?

Occasionally, I will try to write stories that lack dialogue. Since I often base my pieces entirely on dialogue, this is a challenge; it forces you to become more descriptive, and develop the setting thoroughly. This short story was the product of such an experiment. His Siren is a single scene in the life of a girl and a boy. The rest is left to the reader's imagination.
