Willy Wonka Squirrel Novels & Stories

“‘She knew that the woods held secrets, but she also knew she belonged there.’” I listened, enraptured, my pain momentarily forgotten. At some point, she went off-script, adding her own spin to the tale. “‘You see,’” she continued, leaning in close, “‘Lila had a gift. She could speak to the animals, understand their worries and joys.’” I laughed weakly, my feverish mind imagining the scenes. “Did she talk to squirrels, too?” Aunt Gertrude smiled, her eyes twinkling. “Oh, especially the squirrels. They were the biggest gossips in the woods.”

It was a small comfort in my otherwise lonely world. "Do you live here, in this tree ?" I asked the squirrel, curious about its home in the forest. The squirrel tilted its head, as if contemplating my question, before scurrying up the tree to a cozy nest hidden among the leaves. "I don't want to lose you," I whispered, feeling a sense of connection with the creature. The squirrel chattered softly in response as if understanding my words, but I was, as he ran out of sight, disappearing into the branches above.

Please God, save me. Positioning the vase I gave a hard pull at the clothe as half of it came out of the rod, and something small brownish caught my eyes. I force-ceased my action in the mid-air, my mouth pursed. Huh? A squirrel sat on the windowsill eating something. As its eyes found a glimpse of me it jumped on the terrace and with another couple leaps, it was out of the building and back in its home at the giant tree beside. "Ninja stalker squirrel, was it?" I shook my head chuckling to myself.

That morning, I walked in the forest for hours on end, stepping on the dried leaves and twigs. Every few minutes I would see something I wanted to show my mum or dad and then realize that I no longer had them. It was lonely and scared, but I kept on walking. Throughout that day, I saw all sorts of creatures and animals, but for some reason, they stuck by me. A squirrel followed me the farthest, going along with me for hours on end. He would jump in the trees while we walked, and when he sensed danger, he would come to a stop. At night I would light a fire under the trees to ward away the animals that would come near me.

Furo skillfully skinned the squirrel that Gasher had caught earlier, removing the fur in one swift motion. He then proceeded to gut and clean the animal, removing its internal organs with ease. Once he finished preparing the squirrel, he impaled it on a wooden stick and held it over the fire. As the squirrel slowly roasted over the flames, Furo made sure to turn it regularly, ensuring that it cooked evenly on all sides. The aroma of the roasting meat filled the air, making Zen's mouth water. He couldn't wait to taste the juicy meat that Furo was cooking.

It seemed to be the origin of the noise, and I couldn't help but wonder what creature might be concealed within it this time. Taking a step toward the shrub once again, I let out a breath, bracing myself for whatever creature might burst forth. Another swoosh behind me, and I pivoted to witness a creature right where the cat had been. But this time, it wasn't a cat; it was a... "Squirrel!" I gritted my teeth in frustration. The squirrel, much like the cat, darted into the dark woods as if something had spooked it away, despite me not having moved an inch.

Three squirrels came out, dragging a pack of pink donuts wrapped in thick plastics. “You know guys. I am always amazed by you all,” she said to the squirrels. The three small animals squeaked. She picked up the pack and took out one donut which had sprinkled on top. “This is so good. I will buy this on my own next time. It seemed like Lucas would let me outside.” The squirrels looked up at her before climbing up on her feet. They stayed on her lap and let her eat the donut. While she ate, a noise sounded to her right. She looked in that direction.

I came to a halt as I heard the squirrel chuckle. "How come I can hear you clearly if I'm deaf?" Where were your comprehension skills you received in school Madam, I was asking you what's your name, not your relationship with my employer, it's evident you're merely his wife," the squirrel said, gazing at Isolabella in an unpleasant manner. Oh, my goodness! This is really surprising. Isolabella had become deep red with shame and rage after hearing the remark that the squirrel had returned to her, and I was simply silently giggling on the side, loving what I had witnessed.

And the troop of five bolt off, howling and yelping to the base of a pine. From the safety of thirty feet or so, the squirrel chitters down, spitting insults, then leaps to the next tree and away. The dogs give chase, their howls fading into the distance as they high tail it after their quarry. Klempner eyes the performance. "Is it always like this?" "Pretty much, yes... That branch there would be a good one. It's covered with berries." He stretches out with the secateurs, then freezes. "Something wrong?"
