    About this ebook

    I know how the story goes.

    Little Red Riding Hood is eaten by the Big Bad Wolf, then she is rescued by the Brave Huntsman.

    It's a sweet story, but it doesn't expose us to the truth of how the girl gets out of the wolf's stomach alive.

    People believe fairytales are there to amuse them. Everybody loves the 'happily ever after' but I'm not going to lie to you: Little Red Riding Hood had to work hard not to die.

    Believe me, I was there. I saw what happened.

    The version of the fairytale people tell is popular because they don't want to think about what came before the huntsman's scissors cut the wolf's stomach open. That fairytale is there to make everybody happy.

    This is not that fairytale.

      I came fully awake as I sat up and cracked my head on the thwart of my upturned canoe. The pain cleared my head. I felt under my bedroll for my knife, hoping I hadn’t made enough noise to attract the attention of whatever—whoever?—had waked me. I did

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      He is sitting opposite me, staring blankly like a dead fish. Stone eyes. Cobalt and lifeless. Pale gray skin, dripping scales. I imagine him hauled out of the water and dumped on the riverbank, gasping for breath. Just as he deserves. I only agreed t

      October is the rainiest month of the year, the most unbearable month of the year. It is unbearable for those who need to leave the house to go to the bank, the market, the bakery. I had to go to the bank, to the market, the bakery. And I didn’t have
