The Big, Bad Wolf visits a woman a few times in her life. My first short story in a while, so PLEASE be gentle :oP. | |||
The Love that Wouldn't Blow Away You've heard about the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. But have you heard about the big bad wolf that walks love's path. Well, read on and you will. ________________________________________________________________________ Once upon a time, there was a man and a woman. Their love wasn't very strong. It was made of gingerbread men and gum drops. It was a sweet and pure love of the young, one with many hopes and dreams of the future, but without any real base. The big bad wolf of the world didn't like them, wanted to destroy what they built, couldn't stand seeing them all lovey dovey. He huffed and puffed these words to break them apart. Mixed blessings {Exhale} Double-edged swords {Exhale} What was brought together {Exhale} will fail because of loose boards. {Blew love to the four winds.} The big bad wolf won by a small margin. The woman crossed the wolf's path with a new love. This love was stronger than the first. It wasn't made of fairy tales about knights in shining armor and damsels in distress, was made with maturity and compiled of situations beyond their control. The woman pledged her life to the man in hopes her children would be safe. The big bad wolf didn't like this either. He beat the woman before, knew he could destroy this too. Mixed blessing {Exhale} Double-edged sword {Exhale} What was brought together {Exhale} shall know no reward. {Blew love to the four winds.} The big bad wolf won. The woman doubted her own worth. What could have been the love of her life, she has blocked out, was too afraid to fall prey to Love's sharp talons and enormous teeth. She closed herself off from the world to live a life devoid of love, and filled with bitterness. Until one day she was awakened by a sweet lover's long distance kiss. Their love was sweet, but built on lies. He promised her a better life only to leave her more wounded then she'd ever been before. One night she almost destroyed herself. The wolf didn't have to fight her too much on this love. It was doomed to fail. Mixed blessing {Exhale} Click here to read the rest of this story (132 more lines)
