[WP] We called them hydra, after the mythical Greek monster. The comparison was apt. (literature.cafe)

(I was unsure whether to pluralize hydra or not, as I worried it may steer the prompt too much. As it is, I fear mentioning real-world history (even if it is mythological history) puts a bit too much of a boundary around it.)

Thanks, I'm terrible about editing my own work. I know what it's supposed to say so my eyes gloss right over it.

    Happens to all of us. I've heard it helps to have your work read aloud (whether that be reading it yourself or some text-to-speech) because something about the different pathways helps your brain catch mistakes better, but I'm terrible about ever doing that, either. Not that I've been in the habit of writing for a long while [sad violin noises].
