The darkness had just fallen as I drove up the hill that evening. My thoughts were on everything else but what I was doing. Then suddenly, the headlights of my car shined upon something small and furry on the road. Of course I hit the brakes as fast I could. I didn't want the little critter to get hurt. As soon as I managed to halt the car I rushed out, but there was no animal out there. At first I thought I had flattened the poor thing under the car... but then I saw her. A skinny girl with fur and rabbit ears on her head. She saw me too and for a moment she just stared and stared at me with a mixture of fear and disbelief. After what seemed like an eternity, without any warning, she just ran off and disappeared into the darkness. Inspired by 'The Wood Wife' by Terri Windling.
