Homework - Modern Red Riding Hood, prose

Keira thought that Mr Moran, Bob, was great

She rested her elbows dreamily on her desk and sighed

It was,

the best lesson of the day.


She saw him after class, excited, and proud

Singled out, she smiled, rapt at his attention

He was,

curious and interested about her.


Keira divulged her dreams, she thought, were shared

They kissed, sealing her fate

Her future,

was swallowed by his actions.


Therapy helped, she clawed her way back from inside her head

Hopes and fears regrown

Bob, banished

never to return.
