Exploring the jungle, you chance upon this statue. A warning. A question mark. Surely it can't be a real carving. A basilisk or cockatrice attack, then? An inconvenient fear response? Seems whatever caused this left its victim intact. Odd. You reach out, hoping to offer any sort of help, but pull back—what if it's cursed, contagious? Before you can decide, brush rustles with a rattling hiss. You can't risk looking back.
The statue's mind throbs. It's months before anyone else would find it. And in some sick way, it's come to enjoy being stuck like this. No moving. No talking. No escape from its captor's hideous attention. Possessive and proud, coils slithering over stone whenever they return. The statue almost wishes its panic-etched expression alone will stave off the next visitor. And then reality dawns, and its frozen face becomes true all over again. So goes the rhythm of its thoughts, a pendulum to count out the hours.

We imagine someone else saves it and transforms it back within the same year, although it probably gets a few nice cracks by then. Sorry if that's not what you'd hoped
