Waiting for the Red Jacket

May 11 prompt used for this one – Rewrite the story of Red Riding Hood. I decided to tell the story from the wolf’s point of view and then gave myself the challenge of writing it twice – once as a hint fiction and then as a micro fiction.

The old woman who lived here had been easily overtaken while tending her garden and now lay deep in his belly hidden for a later time. His mouth began salivating as he thought of the upcoming feast. Instinct overcame him as he leapt at the first knock. She’ll be a yummy treat, he thought, if only I can bite through those purple rubber boots.
