    This is such an excellent idea for a story. I really think you did a great job with the prompt. I love how you manage to paint a rather vivid picture with relatively few words. You seem like you are really talented at writing drabbles.
    Keep up the good work!

    Happy Mibbaween! Here's your second comment/rec!

    The layout fits the piece very well and it goes with the mood even if it is a bit too bright and cheerful. That being said lets move onto the content which I find to be incredibly interesting. Obviously this is Little Red Riding Hood retold from the wolfs perspective, which immediately pulls me in. The amount of detail you've managed to squeeze inside this one little drabble is enough to make feel bad for the wolf and really visualize how I would feel in the wolf's position. I wish I could feel bad for little red but my heart is with the wolf and if I were in her position I wouldn't have done anything different to feed my family. Great job~

    Layout
    The layout is simple enough to make it perfect. The color scheme goes very well together, and captures some what of the mood.

    Content
    I really like how detailed you are. The way you write is just amazing. I love how I can visually feel like I am the wolf watching the red caped figure moving. How I can imagine I am the wolf prowling getting ready to pounce and get my dinner. It's just amazing. You truly are great at writing this.
    I love how you have the wolf as a blood thirsty monster. And at the end mentioning that she has children of her own to feed. I really loved that.

    Overall
    Over all this is haunting, exciting, and amazing. I truly do love it and I love the way you get every detail in there. You make the reader visually see their self being the wolf, pouncing their prey. Amazing work!

    p.s. If I could give you stars, you'd get 10 Cute

    Layout / Summary
    The layout is so simple and pretty, I really do love it. The teal is a nice offset to the mint green, and it just all looks lovely. Your summary is also simple, and it draws the reader in.

    Content
    What I liked the most about this is how you seemed to humanise the wolf, instead of telling a story of how they are a bloodthirsty monster. It's such a difference when you think about the tale with the wolf being desperate for food, and taking an executive decision to keep her children fed and healthy. I think we mostly think of the tale of Little Red Riding Hood as one where the wolf is this bad guy who's just causing issues because of it's own desire to be evil, but it's really heartbreaking to think about the tale in the opposite way -- an animal desperate for survival that knows that it's her own life or the life of the humans. You write it in a way that the reader can relate to, and the emotions are weaved effortlessly into the words, which makes this piece a real joy to read.

    I have none!

    Overall
    This was haunting, but also a really wonderful retelling. I absolutely love the way you decided to retell this, and even though it's short, you convey such a heartbreaking story within the few words. Lovely!
