Run, Rabbit, Run

Dark Drabbles #14

by Wondra Vanian, Bernardo Villela, Laurence Sullivan

Bunny butchers, lunatic lagomorphs, cut-throat cottontails, evil Easter bunnies, poisonous pikas, and all manner of arduous alliterative animal anecdotes compiled by the Hell Hare Submission They queue. With gaunt faces and bloodshot eyes, weary feet trudge slowly. The line snakes down the hill, back and forth between the Hell Fires, all eyes on the stooped shoulders in front. Silence, but for quiet groans. He watches. Three crimson eyes glow eerily in the dark; all that can be seen of the black Hell Hare waiting in the shadows. Trembling hands lift their offering to the altar, reverently placing it upon the last. Some even shed a single tear. His soul aches. For he knows he is the maker of dreams, but also the breaker of hearts.

What a glorious, gore-filled, little rabbit romp. Kudos to everyone for being so inventive with your rabbit creations. I thoroughly enjoyed my read.

This anthology is amazing. Black Hare Press does a fantastic job collecting and editing such a wide variety of stories, even within the same theme. Especially loved Paula Yates's line in "Karma" flesh-shedding, finger-biting, fluff-ball. We had a rabbit for a pet and cornered, and this description is not far from the truth! (Disclosure - I also have three stories in this anthology!)
