Issue # 1: Little Red Riding Hood and The Big Bad Wolf

Location: Alaska
Date: September, 2007
Weather: Slight Overcast Mostly Sunny

The crystal clear lake shimmers as the sun reflect off the water. The only sounds that can be heard for miles is the sound of geese gathering squawking over food found on the bank of the lake. The older geese look around now and then making sure they see no danger coming through the tall grass that surrounds the lake shore line. Then the soft breeze of wind begins to blow across the lake. The world is at peace for that moment for these beautiful birds of Alaska. Then out of the tall grass a large grey wolf attacks the flak of geese. The geese begin to fly away and scatter but one of the geese was to slow to react to the large wolf’s attack. The large wolf claws at the goose quickly killing it while the rest of the gaggle of geese fly away from the danger. The wolf creature howls with excitement about the kill.

The large wolf begins to stand reviling that it is wearing blue jean shorts. The wolf creature pulls out a small container and walks up to the lake and begins to fill his container with water. He takes a long drink of the cold refreshing water and before he walks back towards his fresh kill. The wolf creature looks to be smiling as he looks down at the goose.

The wolf creature says, “After weeks of trying. I finally get to enjoy some goose for lunch and dinner. Shoot looking at the size of you maybe even a little breakfast.”*

He picks ups the goose and he begins to walk through the tall grass towards the near by woods. The thoughts of having a lovely roasted goose dinner cloud the thoughts of the wolf creature. The creature even walks with a spring in his steep because of the accomplishment of hunting and killing the goose. The creature vanishes when it enters the tree line.

Mean while unknown to the wolf creature...
The two men did not think that making a National Geographic special about the Alaskan bird population would bring any real danger or excitement. They sat quietly shooting footage of the some geese across the small lake. The talked quietly as they shot the footage for the documentary. Then a large wolf creature attacked one of the geese. The men sit there in horror as they watch from a distance the creature attacking. The men begin to pick up the equipment quickly as the geese fly over them. They hear the blood curtailing howl of the wolf creature as they make it to the tree line. The men keep running for what seems to be miles before they stop and begin to catch their breath. One of the men grabs the video camera and begins to roll back the footage. The men watch as the wolf creature attacks the geese. One of the men looks up at the other and says, “We are going to make so much money of this footage. Let’s get back to the jeep.”

Weather: Night Slight Overcast w/ Chance Snow Storm

“Old Enough to Know Better" plays through the speakers of the bar. The locals come to the old bar to talk and enjoy themselves after a long day of working. The bar has some character to it old animal traps, license plates from all over the country, and some moose heads with lays and panties on their head line the walls. Only one person stands out from the crowd. A woman with red hair who is wearing a long forest green winter jacket sits at the bar with a sticker covered guitar case sitting beside her. She sits there watching TV as she sips on some warm tea. She watches intensely at what looks to be the local news report.

She asks the bartender in her sweet British voice, “Could you please sir. Turn up the sound on the TV. I would really like to listen to what they are saying.”

The old bartender smiles at her and say, “Sure thing sweet hart.”

He turn up the sound on the TV as the as the report begins to speak. “Today’s top story, ‘Man-Wolf?’ The big bad wolf might be out there in the woods of Alaska. We have footage of what looks to be a large wolf creature attacking a flock of geese. This footage maybe not suitable for young children parents’ discretion is advised.”

The footage is shown of a large wolf creature attacking the flock of geese. One of the geese is killed and knocked to the grown.

The reporter comes back on and says, “The governors’ office as has request nature goers and hunter in the area of Chapman Lake to please precede extreme caution in that area. The area in which Chapman Lake is located was where the footage was taken.”

The other reporter a lovely female chimes in and says, “So we have a big bad wolf and Bigfoot in Alaska now. So what’s next the Dracula?”

The reporters laugh for a brief second. The female reporter begins to talks about other issues affecting the population of Alaska. The bartender walks up to the lady in red and says, “Don’t worry sweetie. Chapman Lake is like a two day hike from here. You don’t have anything to worry about, trust me. There is nothing out there to fear.”

The lady smiles and says, “I am not worried about anything and I am not fearful of the big bad wolf.” She smiles at the bartender as she stands and says, “So how much for the tea?”

The bartender replies, “Just a dollar.”

She smiles and pulls out a five and gives it to the bartender and says, “Thanks for the hot tea. Keep the change and yourself safe.”

The lady in the long red winter jacket grabs her guitar case and begins to walk out the bars front door. She walks out to the cold night air and she sees a big pretty red truck with large snow tires on it. She turns around and re enters the bar. She yells out to the crowed in the bar, “Hey whose big red truck is that out there?”

One of the men playing pool yells back, “It is mine. What of it cutie? Let me guess you like big things.” The man smiles from ear to ear as she walks seductively towards him.

She smiles at the man and ask in the sweetest voice she can, “Hey sweat hart. Would you mind letting me barrow your truck for two or three hours?”
[Diplomacy (15): Fail (13)]

The man smiles back and say, “Woman I don’t even let my wife drive my truck what makes you think I will let you.”

She smiles at him as she places her guitar case on the pool table in front of him. She pops the locks and says, “How this sound. I will sing you a song. If the song changes your mind you will let me borrow your truck.”

The man shacks his head as he walks closer to her, “Lady I said no. There is nothing you can say or do that can get me to let you have my truck.”

“Are you sure it’s a great song and it has a great title,” she says as she pulls a hand gun from her guitar case. The barrel of the gun is already pointing at the man’s head when she says, “I think the title is ‘Give me the keys to your truck now or I will put a bullet through your head.’ I think Hank Williams wrote it. I think he was a great song writer.”
[Intimidation (15): Pass (17)]

The man hands the keys to the truck to her. She smiles as she places the keys into her pocket. She relocks her guitar case and then picks it up with her free hand. She begins walking towards the door keeping her gun pointed on the man.

As she approaches the door she says, “I don’t want you to get hurt. So no one please follow me or else.” With her ‘or else’ she fires off the gun shooting one of the stuff moose head. “Thanks for the hospitality everyone and please don’t let this destroy such a beautiful night. Please go back to having fun.”

The man yells out, “When are your going to bring my truck back?”

“As soon as I get back from grandma’s house”, She says sarcastically in her British accent as she walks out the bars front door.

The red headed woman in the long forest green winter jacket walks back into the cold night air. She has a large smile on her face as she begins to walk towards the red truck. With a smile on her face she thinks to herself how well the situation went. She opens the door to the truck and toes her gun and guitar case onto the passenger side. She climes in starts the truck and pulls away from the bar. As she begins to drive down the road she begins to adjust her mirrors. She looks at herself in one of the mirrors and says, “You know what red. Your people skills are getting so much better.”
