The Hare: Ch.7 The REAL End

"LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HEAD!" said ... (let me fill you in on a secret that is not a secret at all . . . i am not at all sure who is even supposed to be talking; i have read kelly's portion of the story 6 times and still get lost in the center of it all.)

SO, since i have NO idea who should be explaining their head trauma to whom, i will make an executive decision and say that the hare is asking Magnum what happened to his head, when in reality The Hare is the one with the broken crown and not the fearless Fleabler.

"LET ME TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HEAD!" shouted the Fleabler to the possibly royal hare.

Even to this day, no one is quite sure what caused the hare to faint, (which lapsed into a coma), perhaps it was the combination of the Fleablers voice mixed with the wind combing through the tall Gingerwood Grass, or the sound of the glass bottle blowers who worked in a factory across the river or perhaps it was the combination of it all, along with the bump on his very own head. The Hare's eyes froze on Magnum and rolled to the back of his head, closed and his whole body fell backward, like a falling tree. Magnum stood there shocked in mid-sentence, (which he did not finish), with his little Fleabler jaw agape.

Since then, Magnum goes and visits The Hare every day in the coma ward at the 3 Trees Hospital down by the willow bush across from Turnip's Tulip Farm. He brings fresh Gingerwood Grass in a vase every two days and reads the newspaper to his numb little friend. The doctor's say there is no hope for recovery, and since it has been six and a half years with no signs of rehabilitation or even an eye lid twitch, Magnum fears it is true. Still he remains faithful to his possibly royal friend (he still isn't sure) and because of his loyalty, other Hares have considered the Fleablers as friends more then enemies.

Two historians have since written about the The Hare and Fleabler and how their tragic story has brought together two wildly different communities. To this very day, they all celebrate the 4th of July together and even have a parade with a may pole.

The END

OH. My gosh! Hahahahaha Definitely the best you've written. Dana. It's lovely and horrifying.
I'm imagining the little Fleabler with his legs crossed, sipping tea, and reading at the hare's bedside. So fantastic.

Ok....now I'm just babbling cuz it's fun to type like a star trek person on this iPad . I'm done. Shhhh.
