Little Red's basket lay discarded on the ground. Her bonnet twenty paces further, a slashing of cloak twenty paces after that. It was only natural that the village would pronounce her dead. Another year, another girl lost. Her family would mourn, yes, but the mother was young and the father was blessed with three sons, so they weren't heartbroken, just mildly peeved.
