The Wolf Who Saw Red

8/8/2017

We hope you enjoy one of the Fractured Fairy Tales written by homeschoolers! Here's a dark reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood!

by Meredith DeLong

Long ago, there was a small village called Yuppy. Within it lived a petite girl who always wore a brilliant red cloak. Her name was Scarlet. Despite being the brightest girl in the village, she had no suitors. This was due to her acquaintance with the beast of the forest, whom everyone called The Shademonster.

The Shademonster was a large, wolf-like creature with dark fur and piercing blue eyes. Should anyone bring his pelt to the mayor of the village, they would be rewarded greatly. Many hunters attempted to assassinate the beast but to no avail.

One day, a huntsman decided to confront Scarlet.

Oh, my dear Johnny,
You are so, so very funny.
It seems I cannot rhyme,
But I do not wish to continue to hide
My feelings for you.
Meet me tonight, same place,
At two.
-Demarcus

She casually threw the awful poem into the fireplace, lest Stepmother see it, with a sigh. Same place? Did he truly think she could sneak out again, however strong their love may be? Stepmother had caught Johnny last time, and must have been suspicious, for Johnbellai was to cook a three course meal tonight, just for three people! Three courses! And then clean up after!

A knock. A single knock on a door can cause a series of events, for better or worse. This knock though, it was for the worse. For this knock would change Lucy Ludington’s life.
