What if the stories we grew up with weren't the whole truth? Alternate Origins reimagines familiar tales and childhood games. In this collection of epic poems, you will find yourself challenging: where do shooting stars actually come from, was the Big Bad Wolf really the villain in Little Red Riding Hood , and why do we have to do what Simon Says ? Childhood moments, quiet choices, and cosmic accidents reveal that the stories we know may only be fragments of a much stranger truth. Blending myth, folklore, and reflection, this collection keeps twisting until the dark truths are revealed. Because sometimes the story you were told is only the last whisper in a game of telephone.
