Sthenno was never known to have the best of dispositions
and this morning found her in an especially foul mood. The serpents comprising
her hair swayed in saccadic patterns of irritation as well.
“I petrify more guys before my morning coffee than my half-wit
sister ever met but she gets all the press?!? Oh, this Bullfinch bastard is
gonna pay big time for slighting me!”
Glancing nervously to each other, one of her hapless
servants at last spoke to her in a sussurate hiss.
“Already dead? What do you mean he’s already dead?!?
Somebody get me Hades on the line!”
I loved all the S's! Thanks for the new words.
ReplyDeleteNice! Get me Hades on the line!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how Hades will feel about that--does he appreciate the souls she sends his way, or is he over-worked? I definitely enjoy this sort of humanization of mythological characters, and it does seem a shame with Stheno being the most prolific killer of the gorgons that Medusa wound up with all the fame.
I'm reading these in backwards order - again, love the comedy and the razor sharp characterisation. What a fantastic diva!
