Challenge
Rewrite a well-known story from a new perspective
Take a famous fairy tale, myth, or popular literature and rewrite it in a different perspective than the original. For example, you could write from the popular villain's point of view, and find a way to justify their actions. Or alternatively, maybe one of the characters has an unexplored motivation that you can focus on. No word limit, poetry or prose.

Cursed with a Blessing
Everyone whispers my name. Never daring to come close.
Those that saw me, never breathed again.
My Patroness could not punish the one who hurt me,
but she could protect me from further harm.
She blessed me with a curse.
My hair turned to snakes, my eyes my defense.
I spent my life in her temple, My only company the men who tried to hurt me.
Then one day someone else came.
He hurt me, He killed me,
A little mirror, my end.
In my death his children was born.
The man who started it all, his children.
My name, Madusa.
The children? Pegasus and Chrysaor.
