Introduction

Monsters are real. After 6 years of Trump, I think we can agree on that. But not all monsters are Monsters. Some of them just want to move to Scottsdale, Arizona, buy a home in a luxury community1, and send their kids to a small, liberal arts college in the Northeast.

This series, leading up to Halloween, is about that college.

Monday: Medusa’s Son

The Medusa’s son, nicknamed “Medi,” is a sophomore at this idealized, absolutely-not-stolen-from-a-Netflix-property college. Although he seems the party guy, he’s got a stable2 boyfriend, a Faun he met at freshman orientation, and has barely let go of since then. Still, he’s not above finding some unsuspecting boy to join in the revels. He also loves swimming in the creek, and taking part in off-beat campus celebrations that allow him to be naked.

Cell phone selfie in the hotel bathroom mirror Medi and the Faun went to New York City for fall break. Medi really loved the giant mirrors and the bathrobes.

Naked swimming in yhree mile park Medi is going to be at the naked swimming hole every weekend until it ices over. (The snakes hate cold weather.)

The naked run through campus right before finals Last day of classes each semester is marked by the midnight naked run. Meet at the library, run to the president’s house. Medi wants to find out if the first 10 get the invite to a private party at the president’s house.

Lying in bed Most nights, Medi is out at a club with the Faun (next image), but sometimes, he goes to bed early.

Making out in a dark corner of the club He loves Tangent, the club, but it’s hard for him to stay fully dressed.
