WRITING Contemporary TALES

In writing gimmicky tales, you lot wait for the cadre story of the fairy tale and inquire yourself how someone today would react to this situation. What might modify in the tale? What variations would be forthcoming? And what universal truths would remain the same? Here is an example of a modern tale by writer Lynne Barrett, published in River Metropolis Mag, 2005. Information technology is a modern take on "Little Red Riding Hood"—and a bold ane, written in second person.

"LITTLE Ruby-red RETURNS"

These days you are a strawberry blonde. Back in town after a long rest at a woodland spa, peace, yoga, massages, fantabulous sleep in a rustic cottage, you feel set. Tonight yous're with a backwoodsman y'all picked up out in that location, young, stalwart, unblemished. Yous take him clubbing, enjoying his astonishment every bit y'all go from one dizzy crowd to the side by side.

Wouldn't you know it, you meet Vülf, entering Fungi as you exit.

"Where are y'all going, my dear?" His deep voice catches you, the same growl that, intoning on records, drew all the trivial girls, including yous, dorsum when.

"Oh, you know," you tell him, "we have to take it all in. We're headed to Anni's party at Rose Red, later on on."

"Ah, Anni's party. I'll be there," he says, "my dearest." His rasp raises the pilus on your cervix.

You lot want the old Vülf to swallow you and you know it. You've been in that darkness before. When you were with him his world surrounded you. You traveled with his pack and wore clothes he designed, the chic of the hood. You lot shared his nightly wandering, lived on his diet of steak and Veuve Clicquot and coca, went back to his lair and, while his music pounded effectually you, shook to his snarls. You lot cried, didn't you lot, when he threw yous away? Yous've dreamed of him, haven't yous: alpine, charcoal and silvery.

At Anni's party, he's not there. Anni herself has made more than ane comeback and the white streak in her black hair seems now to exist the but natural thing about her. The young models call her Granny, simply nonetheless she reigns. The club is a hall of flattering pinkish mirrors. At one end, the bar glows, its long curve of rose-etched glass lit from within. You trip the light fantastic with your woodsman, turning and turning till you catch a glimpse of Vülf.

He beckons and you lot go to his red velvet corner. He offers yous your option, but y'all take the aforementioned mineral h2o that he'southward having.

He pours it and grins. His smile is dark.

"Why, Vülf, what happened to that big tooth you lot had?"

"Ah, the diamond fang. You remember that, sweetheart? I cashed it in. You heard I had a patch of problem, no incertitude."

"I heard something about those arms you lot had."

"The his and hers Uzis under the back seat? They were quite legal, I had the papers, just certain parties were looking for an excuse to take me down. Fortunately, a whisper reached me."

"I know what abrupt ears you lot had."

"They thought they'd snare me on a weapons count.
