Morning fun seekers, this week our esteemed leader and figure head Rochelle has asked Jan Wayne Fields to provide a photo for our merry band of Friday Fictioneers. The story came to me over a pretty restless night’s sleep the air con being turned on and off as it never seemed to be “just right”, but that’s another fairy tale altogether.
This one came to me and I think far more sinister, so let’s get crackling (sorry).
On My Marks…
Get Set…
GO!!!

The Big Bad Wolf ( BBW) was rumoured to be beyond the upper reaches of the Thames, somewhere around Lechlade, at the end of a distant cut-de-sac.
Thus far 2 little pigs had been sent to capture him and failed to return, it was rumoured he’d assembled a brigand of ne’er do wells and had gone quietly insane, hosting ill prepared BBQ’s with camping detritus salvaged from Cirencester Sheep Fair.
Hitching a ride with a washing machine technician the Pig had made it to Chaffinch close where he saw the BBW pricking some sausages.
He heard him whisper, “The Horror, the horror”
Well, there we are folks, 100 meaty words for your delectation, hope it piques (porks, sorry bout that) a bit of interest.
Somehow it was the place and street names that made this, though I did also like “ill-prepared” BBQs

Dear Shrawley,
You have me huffing and puffing with giggles. Good one. Oh the horror indeed. Care for some BBQ’d spare ribs? 😉
Shalom,

I think the two pigs overestimated their abilities. Their loss was the wolf’s barbecue dinner. Well written, Shrawley. 😀 — Suzanne

Nothing like a pork sausage on the BBQ – I hope he doesn’t make a pig of himself – you know how rowdy BBW gets.

What a delightfully twisted fairy tale. He’ll have to put on a red hood when he makes his move.

Many thanks, I very much enjoyed writing it. All of my FF’s are bastardised fairy tales or children’s stories; seemed like a good idea at the time, 50+ stories later I’m having second thoughts!
