@doublejolt liked for a starter!
It wasn’t anything interesting, not really. Just a crispy piece of bread they were serving with today’s soup, which I had a little cupful of on a park bench that morning. It was hard for me to sleep last night, so taking an early walk while the rest of the household was asleep seemed like a nice idea.
Well, I hadn’t intended on anything strange happening today. But I didn’t really expect the little creature to climb up the bench next to me and beg for food.
“...You must be used to this. You’re quite plump.”
Even in saying that, I found myself tearing off a piece of the loaf and handing it over to the little... rat? Bunny? Thing? I’m not sure what it was, just that it was cute.
