FRACTURED FAIRY TALES: Little Red Riding Hood
by Lazar Isidorovic



Once upon a time, in a small state of Pambukovica, a big filthy scum called Ludojko lived with his pig called Zelatin.
One really hot day in winter Ludojko went to visit his grandmother who was known as a gangster. Grandmother was really an old coldblooded killer.
On his way to grandmother's he met Stracimir, a guy that Ludojko stole a cow from. Stracimir said: “Where are you going you little thief?“
Ludojko: “I am not a thief, my pig stole your cow! I'm going to visit my grandmother and give her some guns, bombs and tozla“.
Stracimir:“Clean tozla or...?“
Ludojko:“It’s none of your business!“
When they finished the boring conversation Ludojko continued his trip. Short time passed when he got to Grossmutter’s house. When he came he saw Grossmutter was dead. He said: ’’I am going to kill that creep’’. He started looking for Zelatin.

Ten years later the hunters killed Zelatin and left his corpse in front of Ludojko’s doors. Ludojko was happy because he took Zelatin’s house. Ludojko lived with his pig Stracimir hapilly ever after!
