FF – The Wrong Book
Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. This week’s photo was contributed by Ted Strutz.
“Hi, excuse me?”
“I’m in the middle of Children’s Story Time…”
“Won’t take a sec. Do you have a copy of Winnie-the-Pooh and the Horrible Demise of Eeyore?”
“Um…”
“Rapunzel and the Tower Plummet? Jack and Jill 2 – Undead Resurrection?”
“This is a Children’s Library, Sir!”
“The Famous Five and the Mystery of the Disembowelled Corpse?”
“Please leave! You’re upsetting the children, giving them ideas!”
“Humph. Bye, then.”
“Now, children, where was I?”
“Please, Sir, Goldilocks, Sir! I reckon Baby Bear’s gonna rip her face off! I would if she ate my porridge!”
“Aargh! What will I tell the parents…?”
Speak to me - I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Woohoo!

You can keep the horror stories out of the children’s library, but you can’t control their imagination. 🙂 The Brothers Grimm wrote some gruesome fairy tales…they knew what was good for children! 😉
