Today Louisa woke to the gentle song of a passing gondolier. His sweet serenade and the feeling of being surrounded by the wonder of a centuries-old palace filled her senses. Cracked plaster on her walls seemed to shape itself into an abstract piece of art when she peeked from the covers.

She wanted to nuzzle further into her pillow but the click, click sound she heard kept repeating. She grew curious. She sensed it was the seagull again. Through half-closed eyes she checked the window for the mermaid’s face. Was it her window siren sending messages from the canal again? If she squinted, maybe the face would be blurred this time -- as a ghost should be -- not the startling, eerie, out of place face she saw in the window before.

The window pane gleamed back at her and she saw only the buildings across the canal. She’d scrubbed the glass furiously after her first visit from Vittorina, the name she’d assigned the mermaid ghost, the siren who sang strange songs about the delfini, dolphin ships.

She imagined her mermaid to be dressed in gold sequined bra with a long tail outlined in gold plumage and blonde locks wrapped around her face and streaming over her breasts. She would also be wearing a carnival mask trimmed with pink glitter. A supermodel beauty, in Louisa’s mind, she peeked through her mask, leaned over and whispered, “Victoria’s got a secret.” She called her siren apparition Vittorina because its equivalent in English is Victoria.

Vittorina’s soothing voice had disturbed Louisa with its song, as did her mere presence, but it made her laugh to imagine what Vittorina might say. Poking fun assuaged the fears, fears associated with visits from ghosts, especially one who left vague clues parroted by seagulls and sang lyrics that led to diving a sunken ship named Delfino.

It occurred to her that the word “siren” was very similar to “serenade.” Would gondoliers singing under her window reveal clues if she listened closely?
