Her Head
He heard her approaching and knew she’d be angry. He didn’t expect the noises coming from her head. Leaning against the wall, he waited. As she walked towards his direction, he swiftly brandished the mirror. She screamed at her reflection, and then there was silence. Medusa had turned into stone.
– According to Greek mythology, Medusa had venomous snakes in place of hair. If one were to gaze directly into her eyes, the onlooker would turn into stone.
Perseus was sent, by the gods, to destroy Medusa.
Poet Rummager

Did you know you can see Medusa’s head in the sky? Algol ‘The Demon Star’ represents one of her eyes…I think: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseus_%28constellation%29#/media/File:Sidney_Hall_-_Urania%27s_Mirror_-_Perseus.jpg
I had a great time working on the book — it’s guaranteed to make a great digital stocking stuffer!

Great link! Thank you!! Cool to find a Perseus star, too. Medusa’s eye is a star? That’s wild — hope the sun doesn’t see it. I’d hate for it to turn into stone. Lol.
This was a fun project! Thanks for all your superb work. 💖⭐️

I think I fixed it, but it may not take affect for awhile or on old comments. Bummer. Thanks so much for letting me know!

Great story, Rose. Poor old Medusa. Perhaps it wore off again. I suffer a similar condition of being struck speechless and immobile whenever I see my reflection, but it usually only lasts a few seconds and then I begin shaving.

Scottish poet Robert Burns famously expressed the wish to see ourselves as others see us. Medusa would disagree.
