It's Always Rabbits
Dabbling with folk horror drabbles
Edric and Thalia Wickerham, and their daughter Tamsin, arrived at Bwthyn Penllost on a particularly murky day in the Welsh countryside.
For the next several months, Edric would renovate the bwthyn while Thalia would work on her paintings.
"Don't go far!" Thalia called as the girl ran off to explore.
After most of the boxes were moved in, Tamsin reappeared.
"Look, Da!" she said, proudly holding a plump rabbit.
"Get that out," Edric said firmly.
"But Da..."
"I said no."
"Mind your Da," Thalia added.
"Yes, Ma," Tamsin sighed, releasing it just beyond the gate.
Their stay was without incident.

Parting is such sweet and salty sorrow...
Dear Wife— At first, I hesitated to go forward with this resolution. But after your recent late-night binges scarfing down bags of chicharrónes—those pork rinds you dip in butter and the god-awful crunch they make, I knew I could no longer reach you.

Set up for typical horror then the surprise ending - in reverse of everything typical 😆 so good!
Strange how my mind went right to the "Rabbits" podcast that disturbed me so much. 😐
