Chapter 7

Medusa the Furious

Once upon a time, I lived as Athena’s bitch. Well, the original Medusa was her bitch in the Parthenon. All the clones are tortured with her memories, so it might as well have been us right along with her. Because that bastard Poseidon raped her and Athena apparently didn’t believe in girl power, she cursed Medusa with a “monster.” Unlike the other 98 clones, I embrace and honor the transformation. I adore my serpent babies. The scrappy bat wings are kick ass. Even better, my “powers” allow me to seek revenge on other bastards who are like Poseidon, including slave traffickers. It’s a good life. Or it was until a few moments ago. Until Perseus. Now that I’m on Perseus’ ship, Bubo IV, and the end is nigh.

Battered and bruised from a space battle with goddess knows who, my tear ducts long to weep. My ears ring from all the sirens that filled the air. But I remain strong. Even though my worst nightmare has come to fruition, I shall go down screaming. And scratching, kicking, spitting, hissing. All the verbs that are possible.

After rustling off Athena’s torture bag, several attempts to transform and break the enclosure holding me captive, I’m sweaty and tore up with anxiety. Did I mention all the new dark green bruises from the ship being tossed about by whatever was happening as we fled LLx?

The only semi-good news? Since Perseus tossed me into his cleansing chamber, at least I can bathe. I’ll be nice and clean for my demise. Said no one EVER. I punch the controls, searching for old world tech of H2O.

“Yes! At least I’m going out in style,” I fist pump when I realize there’s an option for a real water shower. Most ships no longer boast of that capability. But I guess, only the best for Athena’s new bitch: Perseus. The myths got it wrong all these years.

I’m portrayed as an ugly Gorgon. Perseus is the hero on a mission. Andromeda is the sweet angel who needs rescuing. Fuck that noise. Perseus is a murderous bastard who repetitively captures the Medusa clones year after year. Then he delivers them to Athena, the mega-bitch. I assume Perseus does the dirty with Andromeda after all that. No one can force me to admit to the pain I feel when thinking about him fucking Andromeda.

Goddess only knows why this ridiculous cycle keeps repeating. Why continue to hunt down the clones? Why only ever send Perseus to do it? I have a theory. I think this narcissistic hag of a goddess is channeling Elizabeth of Bathory and washes in the blood of Gorgons to remain young and beautiful. However, the only way to test this theory is to end up in Athena’s stank ass claws. Uhhh, no thanks.

“Huh. Guess I may find out after all,” I whisper. I begin to strip and think. My tight, damaged, mech-suit ends up tossed in the corner of the chamber. I loved that suit. It hugged my butt so well.
