This was written for Carrot Ranch’s Flash Fiction Challenge. Each week’s challenge is to write to a prompt in exactly 99 words. This week’s prompt is to write about a hutch.
Rabbit Hutch
Jen’s dad made the rabbit hutch for her when she was 8. She cherished it. He wasn’t around much when she was a kid.
When she was 12, he left on a business trip and never came home. He left no word, and the police found no clues.
When she got her own house, she decided to set up the hutch in her yard. Maybe someday her kids would breed and show rabbits.
When she and her friends were disassembling the hutch, she found a secret compartment. She forced open the rusty hinges revealing a large bag of diamonds.

Indeed! He planned to be around more once he amassed his fortune. His disappearance was an occupational misstep. So it goes.

A delightful story, Nobbinmaug. I did not expect diamonds and I like how it both expands and answers the mystery.

Thank you, Charli. Going out for a bag of diamonds, never to return, is a lot better than going out for cigarettes.
