The Anti-Gorg

Long ruled the Gorg. Yea, for eight years even ruled it, and many were its transgressions and cruelties. And throughout its long and evil reign did peaches remain banned from the table. But it came to pass that the evil reign did end, for the Anti-Gorg descended upon the kingdom and drove the Gorg thence. And all the people did rejoice.

Well, most of them.

For the Gorg, in its reign of terror, had favored certain degenerate humans. These ones were loathe to see it go, for with the Gorg went their privileges. Then, too, the scales of the Anti-Gorg were darker than the scales of the Gorg, and not as shiny. Many were the people who said, "Lo! This is not the kingdom of my youth, for in that kingdom the ruler had fair scales!"

One thing did the Gorg and the Anti-Gorg have in common, and that was a severe allergy to peaches. In the days of the Gorg, had the Gorg's opponents removed peaches from the table, that they might cooperate with their usurping king.

One day, a severe littering problem was observed in a far quarter of the kingdom. Then the Gorgons, for so were named the partisans of the Gorg, brought forth peaches in profusion to cast at the Anti-Gorg.

"How is," cried the friends of the Anti-Gorg, "that we forbore to peach the Gorg as it was murdering and plundering, but you now make bold to peach the Anti-Gorg for minor crap that isn't even its fault?"

"Look," replied the Gorgons, "it took us five years to find this. When you got nothin' you gotta improvise!"
