I’m told this meme started somewhere in the Blogosphere, although I ran into it on Dreamlyrics.
The goal is to change one letter of a book title so as to give the story an entirely new meaning. After the altered title, offer a one or two sentence explanation of the new story.
I’ve interpreted changing one letter and including adding or removing a letter as well as replacing one. These are my contributions to the meme:
