    Red

    I had forgotten she did this one a while back. Red flags, one of the classic symbols of "danger ahead", doubling as red poppies -- rememberance for the victims of violence from men. I'm unsure if Carol herself refused to color her hood red intentionally; perhaps she thought Red Riding Hood have been too much of a ham-handed metaphor? Possibly, but I don't think it would be amiss. Once again, Carol Lay proves she's adept at sending chills up our spines.
