The Adventures of Chuppa (Part 1)

Once on a quiet summer evening as the soft, warm breeze blew by, a small boy caught the scent of a familiar smell, it was a rabbit jumping merrily in the bushes in pursuit of another furry little rodent, also known as a rat. The boy eagerly ran towards it. The rabbit vanished into the upcoming forest and the boy chased after it. Then with an unfortunate turn of events, the little boy fell off a cliff..but WAIT...it was truly a miracle!...the little boy didn't die...he was hanging on for dear life. Ok, no..he dies.

The sun set on the decaying child's body, and as the sun rose the following day, there was a rodent shaped shadow on the boy's torso. It was the rabbit again. The rabbit shed a small tear of oily water onto the now nearly dissolved body. The rabbits name was Chuppa. He turned his back and ran off into the forest again.

Chuppa could not sleep that night. He was overcome by guilt as he felt that he was partially responsible for the death of the child. He made a vow to himself that fateful night. He promised himself that......he would never wear a carrier bag on his face ever again. In Chuppa's desperation he decided to set off on a quest to find the boy's parents and tell them about the boy. The journey ahead was long and full of adventure, but now Chuppa knew his meaning in life and was ready to set out to achieve it.

With Chuppa's long nails he stabbed into the decaying body and began to drag it across the lake so to drop it into the river. Chuppa wailed "Rest in peace my brother" as the body fell in slow motion into the lake and was consumed by the waters. Chuppa then noticed something strange in the air. It was electric and sobre at the same time. Indeed Chuppa could feel the spirit of the boy talking to him and he could hear the boy say,'my home is in the woods behind the great oak tree'. Chuppa wasn't sure what to do or what to say but he knew that one day everything will make sense on this weird world called Venus...(to be continued)...
