True Loaf is a short story that feels like a modern day fairy tale. Riley bakes bread and a customer requests a special ingredient, but getting that ingredient and what happens after is not what she expected. The story is so short, it’s a little unclear whether there is a broader point, but this would be a wonderful teaser for a longer novella or book. It definitely intrigued me with it’s Red Riing Hood vibes and the questions it raises.
