Red Riding Hood

Haunted by his decision to eat Red Riding Hood, the Wolf resolves to build a time machine so he can do it better in the future. He isn't seeking regret so much as mastery of the outcome, and his obsession puts a strain on his relationship with his sheep wife Doris. He begins plotting how to manipulate time to achieve a perfect capture.

The Wolf travels back to the past and encounters his younger self. He offers guidance on what to do and helps set in motion a plan to knock out the Hunter and capture Red Riding Hood with a double team. Their scheme initially seems to succeed, but chaos soon follows as Grandma is left trapped somewhere and prepares to defend herself.

In the heat of the caper, they somehow manage to lock Grandma in an armory closet. From there, she fires a machine gun, turning the house into chaos and forcing the wolves to improvise. The plan collapses as time travel creates unintended consequences.

The Wolf and his past self return to the present carrying fresh regrets and a reminder of how fragile their plan was. The failure makes them question whether catching Red Riding Hood is truly possible. Doris watches the fallout with growing frustration but remains physically present in the home.

Doris speaks bluntly that they are probably not meant to catch Red Riding Hood, arguing that obsession will ruin their lives. The Wolf ignores her warning, eager to press on with another attempt. Her warning plants seeds of tension in the marriage.

The two wolves recruit a triple team and launch a second attempt, hoping to dodge previous failures. They re-enter Grandma's house and aim for a different path to Red Riding Hood. The plan still hinges on their ability to control events, despite learning from the past.

Just as they think they have a winning scheme, Red's scream sets off the fire alarm, flooding the house and forcing the trio to flee. The disruption exposes the fragility of their time-bending gambit. The escape marks another step in the cascading chaos of their meddling.

The attempt snowballs into a sequence of ridiculous failures that multiplies past selves. Each new version tries a different ending, but none sticks and the timelines proliferate. The Wolf and his younger and older selves argue and improvise as they chase an elusive solution.

Frustrated and fed up, Doris takes control of the time machine for herself. She announces an own future, choosing instead to marry a fox named Leonard. Her decision marks a seismic shift in the dynamic of the household.

With Doris away and the machine in unknown hands, the Wolf and all his past selves continue bickering and planning. Their attempts to fix the fate of Red Riding Hood become an ongoing, unresolved saga that stretches into an indefinite present. The obsession endures despite every outcome.

As the plan becomes more absurd, hundreds of past selves inhabit the scene, each offering a different misstep or reboot. The sheer number of iterations underscores the futility of a simple fix and highlights the comic chaos at the heart of the tale. The Wolf remains locked in a loop of trying to outwit fate.

The final beat of the summary suggests that the characters are still tangled in time and bickering over the future, with no clear resolution. They keep seeking a solution, but the story ends with everything unresolved and love and obsession clashing in endless cycles of regret.
