Very warped little story I wrote today. I think it's sorta/kinda darkly funny. Emphasis on dark. And like all fairy tales, it has a family friendly aesop at the end.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl. One day, this girl decided to go walking in the forest alone despite the fact that she had been warned time and time again not to do so. In the forest she came upon a wolf.
“Hello,” said the girl.
“Hello,” said the wolf, “Where are you going?”
“I am walking alone because I feel like it,” replied the girl.
The wolf cocked his head, “You are braver than I. I would never walk in these woods alone. Would you walk with me? I am awfully scared and want someone as brave as you to help me.”
Proud at being considered brave, the girl agreed to walk with the wolf and together they traveled around the entire forest. After a while, it began to grow dark and the girl grew nervous. She decided to go back home.
“Where are you going?” the wolf asked, “I want you to stay with me and keep me company.”
“I am going home,” replied the girl, “It is growing dark and I want to eat dinner.”
“I think you should stay with me,” the wolf said, but the girl walked on anyway with the wolf following.
The girl smiled and clapped her hands when she saw her home in the distance.
“That is where I live,” she told the wolf, “That is where my family and I live.”
The wolf nodded, “It looks like a nice place to live and I am sorry that you cannot live there anymore.”
Before the girl could ask why the wolf leapt upon her at ate her in one bite. The wolf then retreated back into the deepest part of the forest where no human would be able to find him.
For the next few days the wolf had horrible stomach pains. He figured that it was that he had not chewed his food properly and that his stomach was having problems digesting her. He paid it no heed. The pains continued to get worse and worse until he could no longer stand. A week after he had eaten the girl, the wolf fainted from pain.
The wolf did not move for about an hour. When he did move, it was in strange twitches and movements of his belly. After five minutes, the girl he had eaten crawled out of his stomach and carefully folded up the wolf’s skin. For the past week, she had slowly been eating the wolf from the inside out. One carefully chewed bite at a time she had eaten him until there was nothing left but his skin.
When she got home she placed the skin at the foot of her bed and told her family that she had gotten lost. They admonished her for disobeying but also praised her for having the good sense to not get hurt and to find enough food and water.
When she grew big enough the girl began to don the wolf skin and become a wolf herself. She ate many stupid people who came into her forest from her village’s rival village and stole their things, making her family and village quite wealthy.
“And all this,” she thought to herself, “was possible because I always chewed my food thoroughly without making a mess.”
