The Wolves Are All Gone



Lesllie Pulsifer reworked the folk tale of Little Red Riding Hood into a new story. It's an allegory about strangers with malicious intent upending the established way of life by frightening the populace. You have to let go of the traditional reputation of wolves in such stories to really understand the metaphor. Just go with the narrator's description. Relating the tale to modern times, who the wolves are and who the stranger is all depends on your preconceived notions of friend and foe.

Pulsifer wrote the story, created the animation, and wrote and performs the music, which will give you an earworm.
