I've just finished my creative writing elective. My final story was a folk tale about a fox who turns in to a beautiful woman and marries a hunter. The couple have a child and are happy until the hunter presents his wife with a fox stole as a gift, the wife looses her mind at the sight of the fox's body and kills and partially eats her son, she then shoots herself with her husbands gun. Her corpse is in her fox form. The story is based on old folk tales about fox women and was also inspired by songs by Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Leonard Cohen. It was also heavily inspire by the childrens book "Mary and the Wild Cat".
