=A Lost Love=

media type="file" key="siren2.mp3" Scene 1- My name is Scheria and I have been living on the land of the Sirens for my entire life. Our job as the sirens is to entice naïve sailors onto our island with our beautiful voices and drop dead gorgeous looks. At this exact moment in time, a ship is coming, but its not just any ship, this is the boat I have been waiting for. Scene 2- Here he comes, that tall, muscular, bearded, handsome man. He’s surrounded by his men but the only man that catches my eye is him. Strapped to the mast of his massive ship, bound tight with ropes, men pulling them in tighter, Odysseses stands like a gallant hero. His boat glides swiftly across the water creating a mighty wake. (Water SFX) His men are rowing with ferocious power and speed, but the wait seems like an eternity. I want my Odysseus now. I know what those other sirens are thinking but they wont get it. Odysseus is all mine, I’m not one to share. Scene 3- As the formidable ship draws closer and closer, the sun reflects off the deck onto Odysseus, making him appear god like (Church SFX). Gasp. My heart just skipped a beat, not only did Odysseus just arrive, but now I can see that he has taken the wax out of his ears. Now I can seduce him with my stunning features and angelic voice. Ha! Those other sirens don’t stand a chance. (Sings) Scene 4 - Ahh! He’s struggling, I can see his muscles bulging, fighting against the ropes that hold him back. Sweat drips off his chin (Drip SFX) as he bellows out in agony. “Release me, release me,” he cries to his men, but it is in vain, the sailors only pull the ropes tighter. He wipes one of his ripped biceps across his forehead, smearing the dirt. He looks down with defeat. Oh Odysseus! Don’t give up now, we can still be together. (Sings) Scene 5 - Ah, but alas my cries are useless. I can see his ship sailing into the sunset. Every minute it grows smaller and smaller. No! my great love is gone forever.
