  • A tragic loss occurs? (The Three Little Pigs are too late to save their house…)
  • A little comic relief? (Hansel and Gretel win a trip on Euro Rail, sponsored in part by M&M’s…)

Whatever the change…It's limited only by your imagination – but please keep it PG-13

Other Rules:


  • Post your story during the week of August 13 to 17.
