    A cool twist of the Siren myth! Though one must ask what kind of things she's growing in that garden of hers. :D "Smelt" should be "smelled"; "smelt" means to ...

    Let me describe my approximate thought process as I read this. "Ooh, a new poster in the Fantasy forums. Let's see what they've got. *clicks on story* Nice opening sentence. ...
