Today’s inspirational image is “Nymph (Redo)” by Monica Antonie Meineche. You can see the rest of her portfolio on Strikingly. Here’s the beginning of “Beware the Song on the Wind:”
I know how it sounds. I can see it in your eyes. You think I’m crazy. But every word is true. And you must listen. All of you must listen, because they’re still out there. I barely escaped with my life.

They’ll temp you with their song, such beautiful voices. It starts like a whisper on the wind. A sound so lovely that you have to find it. It gets in your ears, fills your mind with romance and your heart with longing. And once the voice has brought you to a bridge, or a cliff, or the end of a dock, there sits this beautiful girl. You thought you only loved the song, that you wanted to see what kind of creature could create such stirring tones, but now you love the girl, and you must possess her.
I can see your thoughts. You want to run out and find her for yourself. But don’t! She’s not human, and she’s not alone.
