I sat in my chair by the window, staring out at the blue oasis, as I was swallowed by the voices in my mind. I couldn't pass it off as me being crazy, blaming everything on the invading voices in my head, but the voices were my own, dragging me down further, and further.

A knock on the door stirred me from my spiraling thoughts.
"May I enter, or am I interrupting your afternoon brooding?" A muffled voice came through the door. A voice I knew all too well. It was deep, but feminine, with the syllables of words trickling down like honey in your ears. Close to how the DryWalkers described their made up, mythical 'Sirens'.

The door clicked open, and in popped a light blue head full of short, wavy, coral to pink ombre hair. I could only see her head, tilted sideways as the wall blocked off the rest of her body. She flashed me a goofy grin full of sharp teeth that reached all the way up to the small, pink gills on her upper cheeks, stretching them in a way that almost looked painful.
"Hey." She said with a smile in her voice, "I brought you an 'amazing' gift." She sarcastically remarked, her smile never leaving her voice or face.

"What, Cora?" I responded dully, knowing she wouldn't tell what it was until I replied to her. She did this 'to make sure I was still a part of the living' as she would say.
