• Hell is not as bad as some people make it out to be. I know this from experience because I am currently sitting in the seventh circle of Hell. It was pure seduction that got me here, and well, I honestly cannot say that I am sorry for what I did. The girl had it coming to her. Where does my story begin? Oh yes, it was about a week ago when I first set my eyes on the most breathtaking sight in the entire woods.

    There was a young girl, barely a teen, who was admiring the wildflowers that bloomed sporadically in the woods. Her hair was a soft brown and her eyes a brilliant blue. She wore a short dress that was the color of blood, and an attached hood kept her curls safe from the unpredictable winds. I sat behind a tree while she bent over to pick a flower and watched as more and more of her was visible to my naked eye. When she succeeded at plucking the flower from the earth, she stood back up. I was so captivated by this lovely little thing that I had forgotten the reason I was out in the woods in the first place. I was not out there to lust; I was out there to find some food to make my hunger pains disappear.

    My stomach growled fairly loudly, and the young girl looked up at me for the first time. When her eyes caught mine, all I could think about was having her all to myself and gobbling her up.

    “Why, hello there, little one.” I said to the girl, “What are you doing out here all alone in the woods?”
    “I am just on my way to drop off some food to my grandmother. She lives in an adorable little house down by the brook,” the girl replied innocently. I assured the girl that I knew which house she was talking about and that I routinely kept watch on it to make sure that her grandmother stayed safe. “Oh thank you, Sir!” the girl proclaimed as she bent down to kiss me on the cheek. When her soft lips touched my fur, I knew that I had to do whatever it took to get her. The fruity scent of her skin lingered softly in my nostrils as she skipped away.

    Many plans were going through my head about what action I could take to make her mine. I decided to take a shortcut and beat her to the little house by the brook. I used all four of my powerful legs to get to the house before she could. When I arrived, her grandmother thought I was her and called out, “Little Red Riding Hood, please do come in here and give your granny a kiss!” With that invitation, I threw open the door and swallowed that old lady in one try. I quickly put on one of the old woman’s robes and a sleeping cap. Right when I tied the robe shut I heard dainty footsteps coming up the path. Little Red Riding Hood had arrived.

    The lovely girl cried out in the sweetest voice, “Granny may I come in? I have some goodies for you!” Pretending to be her grandmother I called out, “Why, yes baby! Please do come in!” The girl then opened the door carefully and placed a basket on the kitchen table. She then looked at me with a smile and started coming closer. On her way to me, she bent over several times to straighten something on a bottom shelf, or to pick up a dropped item. The want for her just got stronger with each step she took towards me. She finished tidying up the room and stopped about five feet from where I was lying on the bed.

    “Grandma, your ears seem bigger today,” said the girl.
    “Oh, the better to hear you with, baby,” I responded in a disguised voice.
    “And your arms seem more muscular,” Little Red concluded.
    “Oh, the better to hug you with, baby,” I assured her.
    “Wow, your nose is larger, too,” the girl pointed out.
    “Oh, the better to smell you with, baby,” I told her honestly.
    “Your teeth sure have grown, too,” Little Red Riding hood noticed.

    I did not have the heart to tell her that I was about to have her for lunch, so at that point I merely reached out of bed and grabbed the girl. Before I gobbled her up, I admired her beauty and assured her that I would make it as painless as possible. I also warned her that she should not seduce strangers in the woods by wearing short dresses and allowing just anyone to take a peek.
