Sunday Morning

 

Wake up.

It’s dark

Dark? Ahh… Sunday. No hurry for anything.

Close eyes again.

Sunday.

Walk the dogs in a bit. Not yet though.

The woods? Pendle Hill? A day out to Ingleton Fell? Cream tea in the village perhaps?

No hurry to decide.

Breakfast?

No not yet. I’ll switch on the teas-made though.

Breakfast? Mmm. In a bit.

Scrambled eggs?

Cereal?

Boiled eggs?

Yes, boiled eggs. With nice runny middles and toast.

What’s different?

?

?

Open eyes. Inspect ceiling.

No dogs on the bed?

?

?

Ahh…. Dogs all to side of bed…. They’re looking at something…

Looking down at something….

?

?

What’s that noise?

Crunch Crackle Slurp

Why is the bed vibrating?

Why is the bed vibrating?

Why is the bed vibrating?

The dogs are looking at something under the bed……

?

?

Haul idle carcass from under cosy duvet and swing, face down, to inspect under bed.

Oh God….

Polly the cat has a rabbit.

It’s under the bed.

Polly the cat has what used to be a rabbit.

Now it’s just a rabbit body and a pair of ears. No head.

The ears are where the ears ought to be. But there’s no head connecting them to the body.

There’s a headless rabbit under my bed.

Good morning Sunday.
