Novel & Cerita Swan Song

Solveig’s song. In the yacht, her song was playing quietly. Winter may pass, and spring may disappear. Summer too will vanish, and then the year. And then the year. But this I know for certain: you’ll come back again. You’ll come back again. As I promised, you’ll find me waiting then. You’ll find me waiting then. Looking out the fjord and listening to such a beautiful yet sad song, this moment felt surreal to Silje. ‘I will never forget this moment…’

I circled the drop tower again and again, but there wasn’t a single staff member in sight. The crowd had already begun to scatter, leaving only Michael, Janine, and Nina behind. "Michael, please! I’m begging you, let our son down!" Desperate, I ran to him for help. "Lena, afraid now? Where was that fear when you were shouting about divorce? Where was it when you spread rumors about me and Janine, making her suffer?" His voice was cold, dripping with scorn.

Ava wasn’t sure which. They all downed another bottle of beer before a slow song came on. Hawk said it was called, You’re Still the One by Shania Twain. He liked the song and asked Ava to dance. It had a romantic ring to it. Belle and Colt had stayed at the booth. Nut shells crushed beneath their feet as they made their way to the front to the dance floor. Hawk wasn’t shy about putting his arms around her waist just like Ava wasn’t shy about putting her arms around his neck. They began to sway with other couples on the dance floor.

The day had started peacefully. He might even say he felt a little ecstasy swimming in his veins when he reminded himself of his ultimate plans for the day. He hummed to the tune 'A Hymn to God the Father' by John Donne and his gait got a skip in the step and a few snapping of fingers here and there when he reached, "I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun My last thread, I shall perish on the shore; But swear by thyself, that at my death thy Son

I cried, resting my lips on his cheeks in an attempt to lessen the pain he was going through given his loud groans and the sweat forming on his forehead. The Siren's Song, lethal to anyone unfortunate enough to hear it, is the reason why sirens are as intimidating as they are rumored to be. Undefeatable and inescapable. Written about in the archives of military war plans concocted over the centuries, never been used in the past 500 years. Forbidden magic, only used as a defense to deter persons from a fight, is never meant to be practiced. Yet here I am, killing my only source of happiness left in this world of desertion and betrayal.

And as Susan keeps going on about how she was likely to lose her place in the band to the old lead singer, all I can think about was Tim and his take on that guy’s appearance. Present-I remembers that something strange happened later that night. Susan had come home from the beach relaxed, but in the middle of the night her restless tossing woke me up. She kept repeating "Shawn, Shawn...". I softly shook her awake to free her from an apparently bad dream. "Is Shawn the old lead singer of your band?" I asked her when she awoke. She looked at me startled and stuttered, "No, no, his name is Paul, not Shawn. I don't know a Shawn!” Come to think of it, I've never figured out who Shawn is or why th

“I was wrong, Ethan. I was really wrong. Please forgive me. I will never do it again.” There was no trace of mercy in Ethan’s eyes. His grip tightened. Olivia’s struggling weakened until she could barely move. Using the last of her strength, she forced out one final sentence. “Ethan… are you really going to kill me here? There are people everywhere. If you kill me… you will not escape either…”

The luxurious, pristine white manor was now shrouded in thick smoke as it was engulfed by flames. I threw away the key, tore off the necklace around my neck, and threw it into the fire. Then, listening to the roaring flames behind me, I left the villa where I had grown up. I thought, 'Atlas, let's never meet again.'

Tabitha took Cassidy’s hands, her eyes brimming with tears. “I’m right here, Nan.” “Don’t cry, Tabs. I’ve had a full life. It’s time for me to be with your gramps again. “I just have one last wish left.” Tabitha was teary-eyed. “What is it, Nan?” Cassidy patted her hand. “It pains me that I won’t live to see you settle down with a nice man who only has eyes for you.” The guilt weighed heavily on Tabitha.
