Wolfgirl
It was werewolves today on the Fred MacAulay show, (BBC Radio Scotland). I waxed lyrical on the mythologizing of the wolf and why we have turned this now virtually extinct creature into a satanic blood sucker. Fred had a David talking about the Hollywood construct that is the Year of the Werewolf while I tut tutted about our sanitised western world where we have killed off all our wolves and rely on a fat producer in Hollywood to ply us with cheap thrills. Give us back our medieval forests, the big bad wolf and Little Red Riding Hood cried I – all at once middle aged AND middle class.
Where was my inner wolf?
Help! I thought and offered to bite Fred as a parting shot. Surely good middling girls don’t bite older men?
