Creepy story

"I like what you have going in this short story, with the sailor caught in a storm. I thought that your description of his struggles and of the storm itself was very well done. The idea of the sirens gives the reader an idea of time and setting, and the ending was rather chilling, which is what you want in a scary story. Like with the other, I think that adding more vividness and drawing it out longer would make it more haunting. Make the reader feel the icy waves, hear the faint, angelic song of the siren, shiver when he falls into the water. Writing is all about making the reader feel something, and it is possibly the hardest thing that a writer can possibly accomplish. You're on your way though, and I love reading your stories. Very well done. Keep writing!"
