Welcome to my very first attempt at writing a novella. This also serves as my entry to the 2023 Open Novella Contest here on Wattpad.

Readers of my other works will be familiar with the setting already: this is an alternate universe historical fantasy set in a fictional world inspired by a combination of Medieval European and Ancient Asian/Chinese cultural elements. If you've not read them, feel free to check them out on my profile wildx22.

This story also features a somewhat different writing style to what I usually adopt. It's a bit of an experiment for me!

And as you can tell from the subtitle of this story, this is a Little Red Riding Hood retelling. So, is there a big bad wolf? You bet.

Stay tuned!

This story incorporates the following ONC2023 prompts:

1. When a giant monster chases you, all you can do is throw a stick and hope they'd play fetch.

5. Flip the coin and make a life choice with it. Two choices, one coin, and no turning back. Do you dare?

13. You were at the wrong place, at the wrong time, and now you are running for your life!
