This piece was written for the Six Sentence challenge, with the prompt word of ‘method’.
Note: Examples only – (may contain traces of nuts)
Little Red Riding Hood – includes wild animal devouring old lady and an axe murder.
Julius Caesar –main character stabbed repeatedly in the rotunda.
Romeo and Juliet – includes under-age sex and portrayal of suicide.
The Bible – a lot of smiting and begatting, as well as fratricide and brief scenes of nudity.
Father Christmas – involves scenes of sweat shops and enslaved reindeer.
Snow White – portrays little people as exploiters of young woman in trouble, as well as stepmother-shaming.
Six Crooked Highways 
Those enslaved reindeer should be an excellent trigger. There do seem to be a lot of evil step-mothers in those stories that one can complain about.

Hilarious. I find all that gratuitous begetting is totally unnecessary!

Thanks, Hobbo. Begetting has an unfair reputation. After all, it’s how we both got here. 🙂

You need to include where we can get help if we have been affected by any of those issues.

I am re-reading the Bible cover to cover for the second time this year, Genesis, through the Pentatuch is rather graphic. And some really shady characters. And SAnta is an anagram for you know who. Romeo and Juliet has seven deaths in four days. WAy to go Bill! Shakespeare.
Good sxi.

Meant as a joke. That IMO, there’s a little heavy & sad, but also your signature humor. But the heavy is also still there. Sorry, if I misread your meaning

Got it now, Liz. You very perceptively picked up on my old fart frustration with political correctness, cancel culture and cultural revisionism. And don’t get me started on the alphabet soup sexuality crowd. It’s getting hard these days to find a literary journal that doesn’t require submitters to be a left-handed, one-legged, non-binary, immigrant person of colour under the age of 25. 😉
