Rewrite the Darling
Rewrite the Darling by T Gilbert (a Short Story Contest entry)
Little Bear cornered her forever nemesis on the slick of a clean page. She was tired of their humdrum ending. Her violated bed, stolen porridge, and busted up chair never led to a fairy tale finale- only injustice of a home destroyed. Goldilocks screamed as the paw shadowed her face. Little Bear whiffed the airborne fear; her claws flexed to erase. Time to rub out this darling – and it would be just right.
