My Balsamico

curiosity kills the bunny

The air was crisp, carrying a faint chill that clung to the morning. Pale sunlight filtered through gray clouds, and every breath left a fleeting puff of mist.
A bunny boy sat up on the creaky mattress, rubbing his eyes with cold, stiff hands. The air in the small, dim room felt sharper than usual, nipping at his skin through the thin blanket he'd kicked aside. His breath hung in the air for a moment, a fleeting wisp before fading into nothing. He swung his legs over the edge of the bed, bare feet meeting the icy floor with a slight wince.
After the morning routine the bunny boy wore his worn out jacket, stepping outside, shivering as the cool breeze hit his face. The pale morning sun barely offered any warmth, and his steps were hurried, trying to shake off the lingering cold. Another long day awaited, but for now, he focused on moving, one step after another
