Wake up

You open your eyes. You're on the floor, sprawled out over a tile. Your vision is funny. It's blurry, and you can only see in black and white for some reason. However, you can sense the heat of several other life forms nearby... You can't think very well... You look around, and slither forwards. You're stopped by something. You're confused.

You open your eyes. You're on the floor, wrapped around a snake. It's smooth. Your vision is funny, and you can only see in black and white for some reason. However, you can sense the heat of several other life forms nearby...

You open your eyes. You're on someone's body. They're not wearing any clothing, but the fact of that does not concern you in the slightest. Your vision is funny. It's blurry, and you can only see in-

You open your eyes. You're trapped under a mass of snakes. You open your mouth and flick out your tongue. Your Jacobson's organ picks up on several snakes with the same scent as yours as well as a-

You open your eyes. You're laying down with a snake in front of you. Your vision is funn-

You open your eyes. You're trapped in-

You-

Y-

Y-Y-Y-Y-You open-You- Yo- Y-Y-You-

You open your eyes, and lift yourself off of the floor with your arms. You feel groggy, and stare at the brown snake dangling in front of your face.

Two seconds later, you have a panic attack, and run back and forth, screaming. You try to get the snake off of you, but end up only finding more snakes on your head. You try hitting them. You end up feeling a sharp, burst of pain. You calm down and catch your breath.

Something's not right. Not only are the snakes not attacking you, you seem to be subconsciously controlling them. By concentrating, you can get a brief glimpse of what they see through their eyes.

Slowly, and fearfully, you reach up to your head, place your around one of the snakes, and follow it's body. When it gets to the base of your skull, you shudder. The snakes are connected to you. You control them, you are them. Alex has transformed you into a gorgon.

Shaking with fear, you look around the room. It appears to be an empty chamber of sorts, with a strange opaque observation window on one side. With nothing else to do, you wander around the room, attempting to control your snakes. As you're staring into the glass, looking at your reflection, the loudspeaker comes on. It's Alex. You're immediately engulfed with rage.

"Hello, May." She says in her usual know-it-all tone. "Enjoying your new do? I think you'll notice I kept it roughly the same color and shape..."

Alex laughs out loud. You fail to see what's so funny.

"Oh, May... You're quite the interesting experiment indeed. You see, you're a bit of a paradox. Every other Unlit Dungeon experiment has had their libido levels increased four times what they were as humans. But... I'm afraid that doesn't work for Gorgons like yourself... Observe."

Suddenly, a hatch opens and in rolls the very frightened Rem, looking around and practically on the verge of screaming. Turns out, she absolutely screams when she sees you, and your snake hair. She cowers in the corner, covering her head and sobbing to herself.

Alex laughs at her agony, and speaks up again.

"Oh my... That's quite the reaction, huh May?"

"M-M-May?!" Rem exclaims nervously.

"That's right, you little mousy munchkin." Alex responds. "That's your beloved May alright... Although, I wouldn't look her in the eyes if I were-"

Alex trailed off. Rem had glanced into your piercing eyes, and suddenly stopped moving. The only thing still moving was her eyes. Even her mouth stood still, frozen in an agape position.

"Rem?" You exclaim. "Rem?! REM! Rem, what's the matter?! Rem, it's me! Rem!"

"Oh... What a sad, sad little reunion..." Alex teases. You clench your fist and dart your eyes across the room, trying to figure out where she was watching you from.

"What are you mad at ME for? YOU'RE the one that did this to her... You froze her. With your stare. Haven't you ever heard of Medusa before?"

You stutter.

"Oh, but don't worry... This isn't magic... It's science. Highly advanced science, but still science nonetheless. And science cannot cause people to transform into stone just by having you stare at them. No, the best you can do is hypnotize them. You'll need to bite them and inject your venom if you want to turn them into stone."

You continue searching the room for any sign of video camera. You can't see any, so you can only assume that the glass is one way. You also assume it's there to protect Alex from your stare. You stand up and pound against the glass with your fists. It vibrates, but doesn't break. Alex chuckles at your futile efforts.

"Return Rem to normal this instant!" you yell.

"Oh, May... I don't have to do a thing... She'll be back to her regular old self in just 24 hours." Alex chuckles again, and suddenly, the one way glass starts to fade. It becomes clear, and on the other side of it, you can see Alex, wearing a pair of opaque sunglasses, her arms crossed, looking very pleased with herself.

"I'm going to make you a deal, May... You're a bit different from other experiments. Yes, you've had your libido increased somewhat, but nowhere near as much as other experiments. You're not even as horny as a futanari."

Alex smirks and gets right up to the glass.

"But... Gorgons get a different mental change. Specifically... Their love of beauty and art. I've increased that part of the human brain by EIGHT. Combined with your somewhat increased libido, it ends up with some rather interesting results..."

Alex steps away from the glass again.

"You should be feeling it take hold pretty soon, May. And that's why I'm making you a deal. Once Rei unfreezes, you're free to go."

"You're lying." You scowl.

"I'm not." Responds Alex. "I may be a monster, but I almost always stick by my own moral codes. I can afford to let a few people go. I'll change you back into a human and everything, and you'll be free to do as you please. You won't be able to convince anyone about the reality of my business, but at least you can live a normal life as a girl... So... See you in a day, May. Ta ta."

Alex waves goodbye and walks out the door.

"24 hours..." You think to yourself. "What a moron... I can wait that long..."

...

24 hours later, you're standing at the petrified, in more than one sense of the word, body of Rem. She's a marble statue now, although she still remains conscious, as she's been transfigured into a sort of rock-solid slimegirl. You gently stroke her butt and admire your work. Your snakes hiss with delight as you admire her wonderful form... Her gloriously shaped abdomen... Her wonderful expression you forced her arms into...

Rem was lifting up her breasts. One of her eyes was open, while the other was closed, and her mouth had been moved into a suggestive "O" shape. Indeed, she was truly glorious. A wonderful piece of art.

Alex came back into the room, she wandered over to a computer monitor and watched some of the security footage back.

"Didn't even make it 4 hours?" Alex laughed to herself. You didn't really care. Biting Rem had been worth it. She was such a glorious masterpiece.

"Indeed..." you say gently. "I'm surprised I didn't do so sooner. She's a wonderful work of art, she is... Why don't you come in and take a closer look at her?"

Alex smirks, clearly amused.

"Nice try, May... But you're not adding me to your collection. Although I am interested in seeing what kind of pose you'd have for me..."

Without even looking at her, you respond.

"A masterbatory position, at the verge of ejaculation. Your tongue would hang out of your mouth, and you'd be groping your left breast. You'd be preserved forever in sheer bliss, and likewise, I would feel bliss from having a perfect specimen like yourself as a trophy..."

"A fine position... Maybe I can send you one of my Futanari later... But for now, I've arranged for your transferal... A little reminder though... Your poison nor your hypnosis won't work on any of my other experiments... So... you'll just have to enjoy their natural beauty."

"I'm sure... They will be fantastic creatures... Like everything you create..."

Alex snaps her fingers, and a crowd of masked women bursts into the test chamber. Though you try to hypnotize them, you are shot with sleep darts and fall to the ground.

When you wake up, you're in the Unlit Dungeon. A complex of unused rooms below the laboratories. You find a note from Alex at your feet. You read it.

"Sorry, May. I'm afraid I had to deprive you of your first art piece. Some client really liked the look of it, and so I'm having her converted into a fountain. But don't worry. There will be plenty of other beautiful girls headed your way... Maidens are always trying to escape my factory... Your art collection will be enormous in no time..."
