Emerging Darkness

What will happen if your fairy tale is recast in a darker genre? Write a dark version of a fairy tale.

The joy in this prompt comes from the juxtaposition of something traditionally lighthearted with twinges of darkness and suspense. The goal here is to reinterpret classic fairy tales through a darker, possibly more modern lens, showcasing the flexibility of these timeless tales. Delve into the unexpected and complex moral lessons that could evolve in a harsher environment, and examine how would these changes influence characters’ decisions.
