The Thumping Horror

Insane with terror, Professor MacGregor stumbled wildly through the dense forest. The flickering light from his lanthorne set shadows dancing among the trees, like frenzied acolytes at an unholy feast. There was no star nor moon to guide his way, only the hideous, sickening thump! thump! that beckoned him ever onward, an ominous thump! thump! like the pounding of his heart as he plunged deeper into the thicket of trees until at last he came face to face with Arghthrok ka’Boing, the demon rabbit of Flemwich Glen.

    Egads – looks like there’s fire in them eyes! This bun does appear to need some sort of appeasement, I’ll get the turnip, carrots, greens…..asap! Then maybe we can cuddle.

    Rabbits are destructive little beasts! My husband and I had a bunny-sized hole in our wooden fence, which we had repaired. Within days, there was yet another bunny sized hole in the exact same spot (which we never bothered to fix). Yesterday, I caught two bunnies using it to come and go as they pleased from my back yard, validating my suspicions that said hole is not only bunniform but also bunnigenic.

      I hope you don’t have a garden.

      And yes, I’m with Allein. Bunniform and bunnigenic are my new favorite words!

    How does this bunny somehow look like a wolf-bunny hybrid?
