The first two sisters sat at the table, debauched and used up, as a curl of smoke drifted upwards from a cigarette. I thought of them as Ms. House-of-Straw and Ms. House-of-Sticks, but I was finished with them, and they no longer concerned me. They heard the lusty shrieks from the next room, and knew I was devouring the third sister, Ms. House-of-Bricks.
No matter what the fairy tales say, sometimes there's no stopping the Big Bad Wolf.

ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Fun story. It sounds like a squealing good time ! ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, makes me wonder if Ms House of Bricks knows what's been going on...
ReplyDeleteI don't care if the Big Bad Wolf is an overused trope, it's still fun to see it used well. Thanks for playing along and happy FFF.

And this one gets my wet, wicked giggle of the week. I can't really say anything else that hasn't already been said... except that the CAPTCHA I just got was "bothout."
ReplyDeleteROFLOL!! Great take!
ReplyDeleteIf you weren't quite clearly a big bad wolf, I'd be calling you a sly, ole fox...
ReplyDeleteoooh, i like it. When I saw the title I though some pretty dark stuff, but this was just the right touch of levity to make it sexy and dark, but not quite evil. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love THIS fairytale! Mr. Wolf, when you get tired of the third sister, you can come by my place. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh! Great, great short fiction write-up! Love it! :)
