I Love Little Red

By Jamie Campbell

Please note: This is a novelette. Shorter fiction is a fun and quick read, not a full length novel.

History is told from one person’s perspective. Sometimes they don’t get it right.

Sweet Little Red Riding Hood always visits her grandmother to bring her muffins and cheer her up. Once a week she travels deep into the heart of the woods to make the journey.

And she’s being watched.

Will the Woodcutter lives for the days he sees Little Red. He longs for her to notice him. When a plan forms in his mind, he wonders if he’ll be able to pull it off. Just maybe, with the wolf’s help, he might.

The big bad wolf has been accused of eating Grandmother and Little Red for too long. See exactly how he was framed for the awful crimes.

A charming twist to the story of Little Red Riding Hood, told completely from the point of view of the Woodcutter who saved the day.

CHAPTER 1

The woods were not the same without her. She lit up all the trees, the leaves, the rotten logs, and everything in between. To say she was beautiful was severely underestimating her looks. And the effect she had on me.

When she skipped down the path, it felt like everything was right with the world. It made me feel like I could fly, like anything was possible, like perhaps one day she would notice me.

Red was her name. It wasn’t her real name, of course, who names their enchanting daughter Red? No, that was the name I gave her. For every time she came into the woods, she was wearing a red riding hood. The cape billowed behind her like she was flying, the hood framed her face like she was a portrait.

Birds sang when she was around, at least they did in my head. Stubborn flowers that remained tightly budded would open up and blossom in her mere presence. The sun shone, the clouds parted, and night turned into day. And me? I floated on air. I did cartwheels, handsprings, and danced with glee. All because of my wonderful Little Red.

I loved her. I loved her with my entire heart. I would have done anything for her. Literally, anything. I would have died for her. I would have given her the moon. I would have spent my entire life making her endlessly happy. It would have been worth it just to see her.

All that, and she didn’t even know my
