We all know the story of Little Red Ridding hood, about a pretty little girl draped in red, going to visit her grandmother and being told not to venture off the woodlands path, meeting a wolf who would eventually either become her demise or she would be saved by a wood chopper who would appear at just the right time.
Many tales have been told, and maybe all ring true, depending on who you talk to, depending on the time frame or the country.
But what if there was a telling of such, set close to this century? In today's world, in today's time?
What if the wolf was more then just a four legged being who simply wanted a snack to pass his time? What if the wood cutter never existed?
What if, the tale was a telling of a family with the mantel of 'Red'
What if 'Red' was the name given to a family, to their daughters who tock it upon themselves to take out 'Wolves'
What if the stories, were not just stories?
What if Grandma wasn't just lain up in bed when eaten?
Just what where the stories hiding? Just what is Red?
