Had to break the story to 2 parts, cuz it took up more space than I thought.
...
Contd. from... Journey to the (un)Known
Meanwhile... the Big Bad Wolf who was a die hard fan of Lil Riding Hood had already found out where she was heading, from a gossip column on the daily tabloid. So the Big Bad Wolf went to a big railway station and board a warp speed Missile Train. He then stepped into the Missle Train one minute and stepped out of the train the next minute. He had already traveled half the world and arrived at grandma's place.. in just 2 minutes! *huh?*
Rumors say that some years ago he wrote a book called 'Travel the World in 4 minutes!' and won a number of awards plus free Missile Train tickets for life! His idea of warp speed trains made history and triggered the birth of Missile Trains that would only take 4 minutes to cover the entire world. And to mark their utmost gratitude those free tickets were actually given to Big Bad Wolf way before they invented the train. *how sweet of them* ^__^
But alas! *echoed twice* When the Big Bad Wolf arrived, grandma had already left her lil old hut. Cause that morning grandma had surfed the net and found out that the Big Bad Wolf was up to no good, from the twitted tattles of his neighborhood. Leaving a SMS to her dearest Lil Riding Hood.. off she went to her daughter's house, by a seaplane.. flying over Spain.. under heavy rain. But alas! *echoed thrice* Lil Riding Hood being a klutz she was, forgot to activate roaming and so.. got no SMS. *talk about sheer bad luck*
Coming back to our Lil Riding Hood, when she got off at the 24th station... she was suddenly confronted by 2 platforms, instead of dozens. She was already standing on one of them, but the other was shrouded in a mystery. That particular platform's track was invisible.. obscured by the thickest fog! The train that arrived just then, glared at Lil Riding Hood with a sinister look. She gaped this time and whispered to herself 'oh wow!.. a ghost train! *does she seriously have a brain?*
She turned her head from one platform to the other, trying to figure out what to do. Her tiny brain sparked an idea of hope. She ran to the nearest kiosk and bought their oldest railway journal. And skimmed through the pages and found out about this elusive train.
It's a magical train that grants three wishes to its passengers, but only after crossing thousand miles. The wishes take them to predefined destinations. And to her sheer delight, they were the very places Lil Riding Hood had always dreamt to explore since she was born. *believe me, she was never normal*
Lil Riding Hood was excited beyond words. She dash to the mysterious platform shrouded in a thick curtain of fog. After struggling a bit to find her way in, Lil Riding Hood finally sat in this empty ghost train. She looked at her basket which was almost empty, if not for the crumbs. She had feasted on all the sweet treats and fruits, en route. Lil Riding Hood didn't feel the teeniest bit of guilt for eating her grandma's snacks. She simply mumbled to herself, 'oh.. they were really good!' *it's a pity, she never learns*
Soon the fog thinned.. and the ghost train began to move. Slowly but steadily it took her on yet another journey.. twas indeed a Journey to the (un)Known. It will be a journey packed with impending impediments.. but at the end of them will remain three wonderful destinations. For they are said to be the best her life has yet to offer.
THE End! *over already?* -__-
Extra Chapter *oh! there's even more?* O__O
You forgot about the poor Big Bad Wolf, right?! Well.. now the Big Bad Wolf who missed grandma didn't sulk but disguised himself as the dearest old granny. He stayed at that lil old hut eagerly awaiting Lil Riding Hood's arrival. He waited and waited and waited and waited.. and then.. lost his patience, and temper, and eventually his pitiful life! *he had to die all alone this time* T__T
His lamenting soul aimlessly roamed until it arrived at the big station which parked the last Missile Train. With his last free ticket, the pitiful soul of the late Big Bad Wolf, stepped into the train one minute and stepped out of the train the next minute... and finally arrived at the doorstep of.. the sizzling hell! *who says he could end up in heaven? pitiful or not he's still a meanie!*
THE END! *now for real* ^__^
Very advanced Red riding hood from the original story.
ReplyDeleteSo Big Bad Wolf didn die from huffing and puffing? or was it another story? :)
@ K: yep, it sure is. =D And I think that part happens in the story of the 3 piglets, right? =D
ReplyDeleteAlso about the non-fictional bit, it's ironically related to the train rides = my past goals and paths. But no, I never did 24 jobs! lol
The last 3 destinations are the final life goals I settled for. At the mo these 3 are 99.999% not feasible for me but I'm already working towards 'em! *do I ever learn* =D
So this is what I wanted to relate initially but ended up with a nonsensical story instead. hehe..
21st century Red Riding Hood? Interesting …. lol
ReplyDeleteLil Riding Hood has to use GPS during her travel. She won't go missing in anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI think she is safe now reading her blog.
@ Anjana: It sure is. Thanks. =D
ReplyDelete@ Rain: That's a good idea but.. if it's this Red Riding Hood, she might still ride the wrong train even with the GPS! lol
hehe.. she sure has lots to catch up. =D
Wow, nice analogy Harumi. So Red Riding Hood's grandma is on twitter huh? ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Chavie.
ReplyDeleteOh ya, you might even know her already. =D
