Short Story

The Past Untold

Yes, Little Red Riding Hood was a sweet, innocent little girl in the books, but what people don’t know is that she was a demon child. Her mother made the red hood for her because there was no color that better suited her devilish ways. Although she caused the most drama in the cottage, she was still the favorite daughter. O yeah, Little Red Riding Hood had a sister. A girl just 2 years older than her and about 30 pounds heavier. She kept her face in every fresh batch of blueberry muffins her mother used to cook so the family thought it was only right to call her by her nick name: Big Bertha Blue.

Now Big Bertha Blue may not have been the cuter of the two, but she was smarter and much sweeter. However, sometimes kindness can quickly change to rage when it is taken for granted. Big Bertha Blue couldn’t stand the favoritism, so she met with someone to help get rid of her problem. One day, while getting wood for the cottage, she ducked off into the eeriest, darkest part of the woods to seal the deal.

They call him Woolfe with two O’s and an E. He was the only person who could wipe Little Red Riding Hood off the face of “Childhood Planet”. The wolf was successful at, not only eating her beloved sister, but eating her grandmother as well. The mother was devastated at the news, but Big Bertha Blue silently rejoiced behind her mother’s tears.

If only someone would have told Big Bertha Blue that Little Red Riding Hood would become legendary for her death.

Mia,

Big Bertha Blue? How funny is that? I liked the story and I could not find any gramatical mistakes but at times I had to reread a sentense or two because I didn't understand it. This reminds me of the children's books they have that will have the regular story one way and the reverse story the other. I liked it, but tell you children the real story okay?
