Hedgehog That Murdered With a Carrot

By Karrah R

 

Timmy. That was the name of the cutest hedgehog to ever walk the planet. Timmy had a little psychological problem. He was abandoned by his mother when he was born and had to fend for himself. He ended up being driven insane because he was by himself 24/7. His thoughts were about carrots and death. He didn’t want to think these thoughts, but something in his brain was causing him to think about murder.

     

Timmy also spends a majority of his time walking around New York, New York, his favorite city. New York was also the perfect place to pick out his next victim. His usual victims consisted of pigeons, or squirrels. This time Timmy had a much different idea in mind for his next victim…

   

There was a homeless dog wandering the streets for some time. Timmy got sick and tired of people feeding it and treating it with so much care. No one ever treated Timmy with care; they didn’t even bother to look at him. Timmy has also been stepped on by a human and now his quills are bent and disfigured. This caused Timmy to resent the humans, but he never thought of murdering one of them. Until now…

   

There was a little girl walking home from school with her Dora The Explorer backpack: the perfect victim. Timmy stalked her and followed her until she got to the park. Once there, Timmy pretended to look injured to draw the girl near him. With sorrow in her heart, she went to Timmy and picked him up and snuggled him, making Timmy feel warm inside. Timmy ignored the feeling and pulled out his weapon, a sharpened carrot. He thrust the carrot at the little girl, but once it hit her it broke. Timmy was confused and enraged, he picked up the sharp end and kept stabbing at the little girl. The little girl looked at him confused and began to laugh. Timmy then began to cry. Hearing the tiny hedgehog screams, the little girl cuddled Timmy until he stopped. Timmy began to feel that warm feeling again and stopped crying, then began to cuddle her back. The little girl then began to walk home with Timmy, still cuddling him and Timmy still cuddling her. Timmy felt unexplainably happy and didn’t want to leave the little girl.

   

Once the girl got home, she showed her father Timmy and asked if she could keep him. The father smiled and said “Of course dear.” The little girl immediately ran up to her room and snuggled with Timmy for an hour or so, then put him in a cage. Timmy was surprised that the little girl had a cage ready for him. He then turned around to see a horrific sight, a bunch of dead hedgehogs. Timmy screamed as loud as he possibly could and the girl came running. Timmy looked at the hedgehogs and the little girl said, “Those are your friends. They are just napping.” Timmy was petrified at the sight of how many she had, there was probably seven hedgehogs lying there. The little girl then said, “You will soon take a nap with them.” Timmy looked at her and she was smiling ear-to-ear.

   

That night, Timmy snuck out of his cage and ran away as fast as his little legs could carry him. He then decided that he should stay away from humans and stick to squirrels and pigeons. The End.
