Thief (flash fiction)

Little Red Riding Hood by dango-Yullen-soba

 

Thief

 

Red Riding Hood walked down the forest path carrying a basket of food for her Grandma. Suddenly a big black wolf leapt out from among the trees.

“I’m so hungry!” The wolf declared.

Alarmed, Red threw the basket at the wolf and hid behind a tree. The wolf went through all the baked goods and devoured them. Lastly, it munched down an apple and then started convulsing and foaming at the mouth until it collapsed on the ground.

Red looked at the now dead wolf. Good thing she didn’t give Grandma the apple she had stolen from Snow White.

This was written with the prompt poisoned apple provided by the Carrot Ranch August 8 Flash Fiction Challenge.

 

Ended up writing a folktale mash-up.
