Gorgon Restoration: # 1 Solution for Petrification
By Robert Shmigelsky


A landlord puts down her broom, dusts off her hands. Finished cleaning, she admires the view then walks out, closes the dining room before heading out through the front door. A cockatrice swoops through the open window, flies in circles around the room – over expensive furniture, priceless heirlooms. Eyes glare down, change setting to ultra-red. Shoot out slanted rays of light, which sweep the dining room, turning radiated matter to petrified stone. The landlord returns. Seeing the dining room, she draws a gasp as eyes stretch wide. Landlord turns straight around, proceeds to market where she buys: “Gorgon Restoration: the # 1 Solution for Petrication.” Heads straight home and grabs a rag, resumes cleaning all over again. Birds!
