This week’s prompt is ‘A Story Set in London’. It is loosely inspired by things that happened when I went to London on a school trip when I was in high school. Fortunately not all of these things happened to me.

The story is below the cut. (CW for vomit.)

Writing Wednesday | A Retelling of a Fairy Tale

Retellings as a genre is something that is a more recent love in my life. However, when I wrote this prompt, I hadn’t really read very many of these. That being said, I thought it was a pretty genius to write my own retelling as the prompt was ‘A Retelling of a Fairy Tale’, and I fairly quickly decided to do my own version of Red Riding Hood.

The story is below the cut.
