Monarch Goddess

Quintessential Monarch Goddess perches on the ledge of a cliff. She ponders her possibilities, and there are an incredulous amount. Her talents are unparalleled, no one else has them. Limitations few. She could fly off this cliff or she could turn that catfish into a toad. She stares at the marsh below, examining her options. Those tall cattails could become soldiers of fortune or castles. She could turn herself into a butterfly’s eye or a snake’s scale. The sorcerer who raised her delights in seeing the Goddess’ mind.

Thank you so much Bill. I have had a lot of free time this week to "play" - but more next week. School was OUT for 7 weeks yesterday!

She seems to have a bit of a problem making up her mind, however. Frankly, I'd just turn the catfish into a toad and be done with it. I'm afraid of heights, so the cliff is definitely out.

I think I would turn the NRAers into toads and take away their AK47's.
