A Special Bunny

Like many people, I had severe sleeping problems during the weeks of lockdown. Due to the pandemic, I had to temporarily shut all workshops and suspend all classes. Likewise, all exhibitions and festivals got canceled as well. In a word, I had a business that left me no income, and that kept me awake for endless hours. It was on one of those sleepless nights that I met a special bunny. If you don’t want to believe my story, that’s fine with me. I know I’m telling the truth.

Since I couldn’t sleep, I decided to get up (I sleep on a mattress inside the studio) and make some tea to try and relax. I know every inch of my place, so I didn’t need to turn on the lights. So, I was in the middle of making the tea when I saw a light coming from the main studio. I had no idea of the time, so I thought it was an early customer. You know, someone who didn’t know there was no service because of the lockdown, though that seemed impossible.

Anyway, I entered the studio and I saw a young, pale woman staring at the ropes hanging from one of the pulleys I use for suspensions. I told her the place was closed but all she did was look straight at me and say: “I want you to tie me up.

Her glance was so powerful, that I did what she asked. I tied her up. And I must say her skin felt incredibly soft. It was rather cold, too. When I finished, she said I had done a fine job and that it would keep her away from the people she used to visit.

I didn’t understand what she meant and tying her up had been so relaxing that I was beginning to feel sleepy. I looked at my watch for a few seconds to see what time it was. When I raised my eyes again, she had disappeared. And that’s impossible, unless… you know.

That’s the story of my special bunny.
