I know it's trash: just another story made up to scare wicked females and correct unruly children. But it's all I have. I know I need something else. Something better. Like a story that shows how brazen women can take a good man down. I can hum to that.

The narrator expresses a deep awareness of the limitations and flaws in the stories they know, recognizing them as mere attempts to control and scare women rather than empowering narratives. They criticize these tales as outdated and irrelevant, acknowledging their need for something more meaningful and transformative.

What the narrator longs for is a story that showcases strong women challenging traditional norms and their impact on men. This desire illustrates a search for narratives that reflect resilience and strength, suggesting that the narrator yearns for stories that celebrate women's independence rather than diminish it.
