She pretends to be my muse.

I like the idea of the wolf somewhat, but it doesn’t resonate with me as much. I kinda like wolves, in the way that I stay away from them and would never invite one in my life, especially not one that will jump in my neck and bite me if I don’t buy wine.

So I thought, what creature / personification would work for me? What does it bring to table?

I thought of those Sirens from Greek mythology, who lure sailors out to sea with their beautiful looks and singing. And those marsh lights, that float over dangerous grounds, luring people in. Both drowning their victims. Mine is like that, a wicked whispering wine wisp. Always in the background, ready to move in, show herself. She’ll tell me I can look beautiful too, she’ll tell me I can make great things, be creative, be smart! Here, have some wine! Don’t you feel great now?
And she’ll lure me into her home, drowns me. Possibly eats me (I just read that Sirens are cannibals, it fits.). She pretends to be my muse, to inspire me, to make me great.

But she lies, and it has to stop.
