Deacon gets home to find a Dear John letter from his girlfriend. She’s left him after finding a hidden envelope with photos of his ex-girlfriends. Turns out they were all mythical creatures.
There’s an interesting, ambiguous mix of the fantastic and the mundane in this story. Deacon’s casual recollections of the mythical monsters stand in stark contrast to his girlfriend’s reactions. But though the story deals with Medusa and other monsters, it’s really a great look at the insecurity most of us have felt at one time or another about a lover’s previous relationships.
