My Short Short Story for the Day

Once upon a time there was a little bunny who lived in a nice little house. Each morning her owner, Sally, let her out of her cage to hop around for a while. On one special day, bunny was hoping around enjoying the chance to stretch her legs when she came across a trail of colorful stones. She hopped over to the first stone and sniffed it. It smelled a little odd but the colors were so pretty that bunny decided to see where it lead. She hopped all the way down the hall and into Sally's brother, John's room. The trail ended there. She looked around but couldn't see anyone.

“Hello? Anyone in here?” She asked sniffing the air.

“Over here.” A small voice spoke from the corner.

Bunny hopped over and looked up. There was a cage high up on the shelf. “Oh, hello there.” She said.

“What do you want?” The voice asked.

“Uh, well, I was just wondering who left the trail of colorful rocks out there.” Bunny said wriggling her nose.

“Me.” The voice said.

“Why?” Bunny squinted trying to see into the shadow.

“Well, it's not like I have any choice.” The voice came out of the shadows and was a small brown bunny.

“Oh, a bunny! I didn't know there was another bunny. How long have you lived here?” Bunny was very excited to make a new friend.

“Not long.” The bunny said. “And you might want to put that down.”

“Yes, mom, I'm cleaning it up right now.” John walked into the room cleaning up the rocks as he came. Then dumping them in the toilet and flushing. “All done.”

After he left, Bunny turned to her new friend. “Are those...”

“Yup.”

“Ewww!' Bunny quickly dropped the stone and wiped her paws on the bedspread.
