Ross Sutherland: Little Red Riding Hood (+ 23 Places in the Dictionary)

My attempt at OULIPO's N+7 technique, which is to take an existing text and replace every noun with the noun seven places below the original in the dictionary.

Except in this piece, I used 23 places below the original (the seventh draft wasn't any good) and I do most of the verbs as well as the nouns.

The music is Clint Mansell's 'The Nursery' which I took from the Moon OST.
This piece (minus video) appears in my 2010 live show, The Three Stigmata of Pacman.
