Today's prompt is to write from the perspective of a minor character in a myth or fairy tale.
I am what I am.
I know this upsets some people.
But I am simply what I am.
It is getting harder and harder
To find food.
People are wary, they avoid me,
They make me an outcast,
So what am I supposed to do?
I only want someone now and then,
I can live on small mice and leaves
A lot of the time.
But now and then I want real meat.
So please don't blame me
For eating Granny,
Or for trying to get some
Nice young Red Riding Hood flesh.
I bet you like spring lamb, don't you?
