Published: Jun '23
Submitted as a horror, but what I liked about it was how it managed to, in just a thousand words, build the scary image of the titular Medusa before revealing her to be a pitiful creature more than deserving the PoV's seapony's mercy. The 'twist' that it's more of a Sad story than Horror worked well here.
