Snowy
My name is Petal.
I have a little black bunny.
Her name is Snowy.
Mummy says that’s a funny name for a black bunny, but my last bunny was called Snowy, and I cried for years and years when she died.
So this one’s Snowy too.
I’m worried about Snowy today.
She’s not eating anything.
That’s a shame, because I tried so hard to make her happy.
I thought she looked a bit sad this morning, so I took her to Mummy’s little workroom.
We found some very pretty pink thread.
And I sewed her a lovely new smile.

Definitely, a creepy ending.

I found this delightful. I agree that it took me up the wrong path, but what a wonderful twist at the end. Well done!

I can’t decide it this is cute, or creepy. Having read so much of your work, it could be either. You do like the quick twist at the end…

Go with your instincts, Liz, it’s decidedly ghastly!

I’ve been a regular at CR for many years. Seems WP has made some changes – so Charli had to make some too. I don’t always get to visit all the folks who contribute to the prompts I play with.
Be well!

Oh, the minds of children and their trains of logic! I could see some kid thinking this is a brilliant idea. Definitely gave me a chuckle.

Oh honestly!
I certainly shouldn’t be laughing like I am.
This is a wee masterpiece of black humour and told in such a delightful child’s voice.
A great reading to match and Phil Burns’ rabbit is wonderful, totally smile-inducing.
