Prompt: Who will save us from the rabbits plunnys


A dull feeling pressed the air and the sky was a smooth leaden sheet that desired to wrap smotheringly around you, ominous and heavy.

Numbly Jack gazed out the window. Nothing good came from days like this, filled with empty promises of little but waiting. A drink would help, he thought and repressed a shudder, remembering his uncle’s life pulling towards that next drink. That wasn’t the path he’d choose.

A bright red and blue on white postal truck hummed to a stop and the doorbell chimed.
Upon the doorstep, a box patiently waited for him to release its contents.

He read the address label stuck firmly to the box under its plethora of gaudy stamps and their cancellations. The ink was smudged but it looked like Wales had been the box’s starting point. Did he dare open the cardboard flaps.

The sullen atmosphere told him to contemplate his actions. Waiting was prudent. It’s not as if any living thing was enclosed, there’d be holes for air. The box was sealed up tight as if to prevent any escaping.

Perhaps a small hole to peek through wouldn’t hurt. He pealed up a corner and recoiled as vaporous toothy shapes emerged.

Hastily stepping back, Jack considered and opted for hiding behind the sofa, wisely keeping watch of the vaporous small ‘things’ that had been inside the box. They wafted around as if uncertain at first, then catching sight of their surroundings, coalesced to fall with soft plops onto the carpet.

They didn’t look terribly frightening with rounded shapes and what could be termed cute little ears barely discernible from their covering fluff. How could anything so sweet looking be dangerous, he thought.

Warily eyeing the tentative hand reaching toward them, the plunnys gazed upon their writer and remembered what to do.
