hmm, story spam

I wrote this. And then I got stuck. You'll see. I need help. So I've turned to you, my loyal blog readers. How should this end? Should I keep working on it, or is it crap? I'm counting on you...

The Wolf

Once upon a time, the forest was all there was.
There was no meadow, no village, no city.
There was no cottage, no path.
There was no little girl with yellow hair.
All that could be seen was forest, but there was no one to see it. All was forest.

And then there was the wolf. If first was forest, second was wolf. He was beautiful. He was strong. He was big. He was fast. He was alone. That was the way it was, and that was the way he liked it. The forest was his home and his life. He needed nothing else, and there was nothing else to need. Wolf and forest were happy; there was nothing to make them sad.

And then there were people. There was noise and color and passion. There were paths and roads and highways. There were cottages and villages and cities. There was less forest.

But the wolf could still be happy. He moved farther away into the forest, and ignored the people. He was still wolf and the forest was still forest. The people were unimportant, and did not affect his beauty, his strength, his solitude. His happiness. He needed nothing.

And then there was her.

She skipped lightly into his forest, as if he was not there. She had golden hair, long legs, and plump cheeks. He could not stop looking at the red of her cloak that stood out in contrast to the forest. He wanted her.

For the first time, the wolf needed something that was not forest. He was scared. The wolf turned his back on the girl and went further away.

But he could not stop thinking of her. The forest could not distract him, could not satisfy him. And for the first time, the wolf knew sadness.

He went back to where he could see the girl. He watched her from behind trees, and wanted her. He had to have her.


And that's where it ends. I'm sure you all figured out that it is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, but what should happen next? How should they meet? Should he go to grandmother's house? Should he kill granny? This is sort of a wolf-sympathetic piece...so keep that in mind. Should he kill Red? I'm kinda leaning towards sticking to the original and getting the wolf to die.

So, help? Beta, anyone? Bueller?
