Charlotte Petite ~ A Bruised Bunny
In the dawn of a bright morning last week, a certain beloved Charlotte Petite of the Carrot Regime was assassinated by Loki Slyh, a fox with multiple previous records of homicide.
“It’s an uproar. Bunny killings all across the country, and of course senator Juss E. Kale is furious. Slyh deserves the death penalty, that’s for sure!” says Official Buns.
Petite was found dead at 9:23 a.m. by her neighbor Spin H. Eater in her garden patch, with only bones apparent.
“I mourn the loss of dear Charlotte,” the old gardener said at her interview, wiping a tear from her eye, “And I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone again quite like her.” (Ms. Eater will be counseled by Thin Kofcarrot for trauma.)
Loki Slyh was found guilty on his trial last night, and when questioned on his motives, he gave a sly grin and said, “Ever had rabbit stew?”
He has been sentenced to a lifetime in prison as well as a hefty fine of $123,456, half of which will be donated to Petite’s relatives.
Petite leaves behind 58 children, 82 grandchildren, and 46 great-grandchildren. They all grieve for her loss. Her husband is reported to have disappeared while foraging a few months before her death, which has aroused suspicions of another murder, but evidence has yet to be found to prove so.
Eaten Insurance will be providing a home for her latest kits as well as food and other provisions if needed.
Charlotte Petite’s Funeral will be held this Tuesday 4:30 pm at the Bunny Baptist Church in Preytown, a salad bar lunch will be provided. Give her family love and prayers, show you support by attendance to her grief-stricken family and friends.
