I wrote this for myself as a short prelude to a larger story I'm working on. Maybe some of you will like it?
The wolf saved her
She walked into her grandmother’s house to see the hunter,
with his greedy eyes, ransacking the place
Of course, he’ll never be accused of anything
He’s handsome and strong and looks like everyone else
Much simpler to blame the wolf than to suspect one’s own
She knows the truth
She remembers the wolf rushing in and knocking the axe out
of the hunter’s hands, telling her to run
She remembers how her parents lapped up the hunter’s story
about what happened
That’s why she decided
She decided to run away some day
Let the village keep its stories and its villains
She’s off to the forest
To find a certain wolf with an axe wound
I love this! I can't wait for the rest of the story!
ReplyDeleteNice, I love the idea. It reminds me of some of my own similar experiences with writing for fun. A good premise to start with.
