Teeth

It was a dark night when she entered the woods.

She always looked forward to her visits, although following the narrow path was a lot easier in the daylight. It was rare that she visited the old lady so late in the evening, but she had been sick. They had often suggested that she move to somewhere much closer, but she wouldn’t budge. She could be very obstinate. The old girl was bedridden a lot of the time. The basket was heavy, but she would definitely be hungry. She’d had trouble with her teeth, but she was sure she’d be pleased that she was bringing food, she thought. As she approached, she could see smoke coming from the chimney. It surprised her that she was well enough to get the fire going, considering her condition. There again, that had to be a good sign, she thought.

As she entered, she found the place was dimly lit. She called out, “Just me Gran. It’s dark in here.”

Gran croaked, “Yes. I’m saving the lamp oil, dear. I’m still in bed, come on through.”

She doesn’t sound at all well, she thought, as she went in. The bedroom was not a lot brighter, but she could see straight away how dark her face was.

“Oh! Gran, you don’t look at all well!” she said. “I’ll put this food away for you.”

She heard, “Thank you, dear,” as she entered the tiny kitchen. She could only just see well enough to put the basket down. She began putting things away in cupboards, with the sick woman going on about her eyes and her teeth. She couldn’t quite make out what she was saying.

When everything was put away, she went back into the bedroom and said, “Sorry Gran, you were saying something about your teeth?”

The figure, slowly getting out of bed, said, “I was saying that my big teeth are all the better to eat you with, my dear!”

It was at this point, that the young maiden pulled her red cape aside and whipped out the pocket-sized Glock 42 handgun, and emptied it into the nasty creature.

So there!
