Medusa is disfigured when a tavern brawl leads to her stripping off all her clothes to run a thick strand of black hair through her veins and turning her body into stone. Greedier than Gorgons, Amphitrite marries Poseidon to gain some sort of immortality. After getting bored with Poseidon and his endless sea, Poseidon and Medusa go to the Underworld to see their old mother and fellow Gorgons. Medusa is promptly turned into stone and holds greater power. She quickly reverts to her old ways and poses as Mrs. Hope, a long time partner of a local Boston, MA hotelier and building manager of her swindling partner. Medusa is now a solicitor, a means of fraud and deceit, a trademark of Medusa.
The Gorgons move to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she and her sisters marry the local barkeeps. But Medusa does not settle for being queen bee in OK, she wants more. Envious of Perseus' adventures, Medusa slips into Hades' vault disguised as Perseus to gain the fear cloak and be known as Medusa of Fear. Medusa and her sisters return to Boston, where Medusa begins her nefarious activity; she marries off her sisters and has them take the reign in the Underworld and she secretly begins dealings with Ares. She financially supports Mr. Hope and him with her sisters in Tulsa.
Her plan is to make all man bow before her as she has before. She has Perseus look into the Underworld to spy on Hades so that she can figure out how to destroy him. She starts her plans to make a young promising boy fall in love with her to gain the youth she lost. She starts by drooling on the most handsome man in T-town and making him dance with her. When the cop breaks up the dance, she tells them she loves the man and that he is her husband. The two are promptly taken to jail, because he is a hairdresser, and he is Black.
Medusa and Perseus move to the Underworld, where she has finally gained the power of speech. She is unable to talk to Hades, and tries to plan with Perseus and her sisters to gain the power they only can hold. They are almost ready to attack but Medusa is discovered by the dead security guards the dead former shivering glamour of the underworld. Perseus, who was quickly looking for Medusa, saves her and the two move back to Boston.
Medusa has made a deal with Athena, the goddess of war, to be known as Medusa of War. Medusa orders Perseus to steal Hades shroud and attack Hades. It is a fun ride until they finally reach Hades, where they get captured by his assistant, Cerberus. A great fight ensues and Perseus, who has greater strength than her as well as a few of her 'cousins', defeats Hades by ripping off the godly shroud over his head.
Perseus is the hero for the day, and Athena gives him the gift of wisdom. Medusa, on the other hand, has lost her powers and quickly realizes she has become mortal, even with the new wisdom from Athena.
She apologizes to Mr. Hope but they do not last. The sisters are all taken to the netherworld.
And thus, Medusa finds herself as an old woman, uninteresting and no-one likes old woman, she is kicked out on the streets and into the sunset.
"That's it", he said chuckling, "To be an old lady again, I would say this is a success."
One month later, "Mrs. Hope" is getting a few jobs in the area, and soon she is taken out of the real world for good. Ghost of Hades, thank you for reading.
The author of this piece is a very thinking person and I hope we all as readers enjoyed this piece as much as he did. Way to go Caesar!

I did all of this by myself.
Well, it was a month ago, but still seems like several years ago. Anyway, things have gone well for me. I'm planning on
getting out at the end of August. I'll be moving back to Long Island, and I heard
there's going to be a local reenactment in October. I get friend invites daily, and they
almost all are cool. I call it ... Long Island. A place where people are back in
time. They live very simple life. They don't use cellphones, computers, or anything. They just exist. And there aren't many of them.
I live with Cash and Judy. You see, they are married to those two men I told you
about. The world's greatest bakers. My friends make bread. And what they have
done is make a business. They have something on their hands you wouldn't believe.
It just came to me! I told them, "You can call it 'bakeries', but whoever comes
here just know that that's not what we're good at. We're not bakers. We don't bake."
They thought I was crazy. They all looked at me like I was, but they didn't say
anything. So they bought a bakery in Queens, and opened it to the public. I'll be
going there after my six month stay in the hospital. They expand to Manhattan.
They take me in when I was twenty-four.
I get a chance to move places every year. It seems like a prison, but I have
room to roam and I'm free for almost two months.
I saw one of my friends, Elvis. I nearly followed him to the hospital because
I heard he was dying. I rushed him to the car and took him to the hospital. He could barely walk. He had no energy, and his eyes were shutting. I had
to do CPR on him when I brought him in. He still had a little bit of energy and
he went back to his house to work on his play. He was going to the hospital for
an operation because he had rheumatoid arthritis.
