Living with Medusa

Description: This is a series of 4 vignettes, each revolving around the fact that my roommate is medusa.  in the first segment, i have just found out the medusa is my roommate. i'm muttering about it when i hear her come in through the front door. i call out to make sure, and she enters the room. i don't want to make eye contact, and she calls me out on it. feeling pressured, i look up and she immediately exposes her snakes. my feet stick to the floor immediately. slowly, the rest of my body - from my toes to the top of my head - freezes. in the second segment, i have decided to let medusa freeze me. she thinks it is really fun. i agree, but i am nervous. i want to make sure that she can unfreeze me after! she tells me just to start walking around, and then she will pull her snakes out. when i look up, i instantly feel like my feet are made of lead. i tell her how it makes me feel until i am completely frozen.  in the third segment, i'm doing jumping jacks as part of a new workout regimen when medusa walks in. as i'm jumping, medusa thinks it would be funny to expose her snakes and turn me to stone. i don't find it as funny as my feet freeze to the floor and i start to feel the numbness creep up my body.  in the final segment, i tell medusa this is the last time i am going to allow her to freeze me. i try to gather myself together and finally get the nerve to look up at her snakes. immediately, my feet go numb and are glued to the floor. i tell her exactly what movement i have and show her my range of motion, as it slowly starts to lock up on me! i tell her i'm going to strike a cool pose, and then fully freeze mid sentence!
