"Fractured Fairy Tale"

This weeks challenge to be interpreted as you wish!

Not just a fairy tale but a fractured one.  Add your own spin to a classic.  Maybe Hansel and Gretel eat the witch!  Or perhaps the Beast is actually better looking than Beauty!  Maybe the Billy goats Gruff beat the snot out of the troll under the bridge!  Use your imagination and run with it.

 Wiki link to a list of some fairy tales

Now for the rules:

Deadline for entry is Midnight GMT on Thursday October 8th (note for UK entrants: we are currently on BST, 1am BST = midnight GMT i.e. an hour later). There is a 5 minute grace period for getting your entries posted properly, after which a moderator will post a list of valid entrants and voting begins. Voting will then close at midnight GMT on Saturday 9th October, when a moderator will total up the votes and announce a winner. The winner then has until Midnight the following night to post a new challenge theme or one will be set by a moderator to keep things moving along.
