Rabbits Beware
My name is Judd and I have a story to tell. The police have taken my shot gun away. Apparently I had been firing through my house windows. I told the police that I was after the voices that tormented me, and that I used the gun to hunt rabbits, which along with my allotment kept me fed.
They have now sent me a community nurse, she is teaching me how to fish and to snares rabbits. I would like to snare her… but the voices tell me to leave her alone. As usual the voices are wrong.

I fear this is not going to end well
Vicar or nurse it seems that fate is against them both
He seems a little … murderous. to say the least. Great story.
Yes it doe seem that darkness in the prompt picture carries a dark message it appears
The matter-of-fact voice of your main character makes the nonsense he’s speaking even more chilling. A very ominous tale – well done!
That is true Penny. The outcome for this nurse could look bleak,
Agreed, Penny.
Ominous situation he’s in the middle of, any which way you look at it. I feel sorry for him and worried for the community nurse.
Ominous it is, but I am still optimist, for the nurse is very able
Oh my goodness.. His lack of emotion so scary! Well done, Michael!
I am pleased that the blunted nature came across
Enjoyed this humorous slightly dark view into a fractured mind. Very creative!
A fractured mind is terrible and often calls for creative thinking
Such a great narrative. Well done.
Thank you Sandra, fracturing of one’s health can call for creative thinking
Dear Michael,
The frightening thing about this, besides his lack of conscience, is there really are people like this. Chilling voice. Very well done.
Shalom,

Rochelle, in these situations creative thinking is often the key to resolving difficulties, unfortunately creativity is not always available
I’m glad Judd is no longer armed. And I’m glad he’s learned to judge whether or not to believe his voices – I think. Good story.
I was pleased to read your view of this story,
Those voices! I hope he doesn’t “snare” the nurse!
Controlling how Judd manages this demons is key to a successful intervention
I think he needs a lot more help than a community nurse and learning to snare and fish. Great voice, Michael, frightening.
Support and the correct use of medication, hopefully will release him from disaster
Oh my. I never thought I would say this, but I think he should listen to the voices this time. Fun story.
Hi Anne, the voices may have been leading him towards disaster. In his soul he believed in caring for others
the voices always tempt the innocent
Yes innocence can be damaged by ill health. I will have to consider this thought
The nurse has quite a task to perform, a hopeless one even.
Hopefully not hopeless, Keith… yet truly challenging
I fear the nurse should beware even though she’s so helpful. But, maybe she knows how to handle his sort. Well written voice!
Thank you Brenda, I have confidence in this nurse,
it looks like it has come to the point when he has to be institutionalized to prevent him from harming himself and others.
Thank you Plaridel, sadly such institutional establishments often failed to help.
Seems like they’re the ‘voices’ of reason.
Such voices can torment, so needing interventions to calm the situation
Neat word picture of a challenging man.
Thank you Jilly, sadly challenges come in many forms,
Those pesky voices always need to share their opinions, don’t they?
They certainly do, and they can cause a lot of sadness
