LJ Idol Week 36 - Quick fire

[jexia]

Mama Bear looked around her house and scowled. She'd spent all morning cleaning the cottage, but it looked nearly as bad as when she'd started. The cracked windows and the rusty red roof let in too much dirt, and she just couldn't get it clean. She growled, and tossed her rag into a corner

Dang! That's a dark take on the Three Bears. Interesting perspective. :)

[jexia]

Heh, thanks!

This is glorious. I've not felt such a WTF reaction from many pieces. I wonder how many other bedtime stories can be so enhanced with the addition of "crystals."

[jexia]

Heh heh heh. It didn't quite end up where I intended! Sort of ran out of time but was glad I could get it to a vaguely sensible place!

"Once upon a time, in a kingdom far, far away, there lived a princess who had a meth lab of her very own" :-D

Makes sense actually. Most fairy tales become a lot more logical if the main characters are under the influence of one drug or another. Explains the weird decisions they make: "Ooh, a talking cat! I'll follow him and do what he tells me."

[jexia]

Bwahaha - so true!

Filled with chemical belligerence, she bellowed back, "I'm Goldy."

I love this line.

My first thought was, "Wow, Goldilocks is kind of an asshole in this version."

And then, as I reached the end, my thought was, "Cool! It's that award-winning show I keep hearing about: Breaking Bear!"

Overall, this was clever and unexpected and I loved it.

[jexia]

Heehee, I'm so glad!

Cheers!
