Willow

23rd September 2022

On this day I found out that my hamster was the best hamster in the world. She could be a little nibbly, but still the most wonderful of creatures. She is a superhero! And her name is willow. She is small and gray, white tummy, small round ears. This very morning, while cleaning in her cage, I noticed her pouches were absolutely full, and a blue piece of something dangling from her mouth. Afraid she would be eating some bit of poisonous food, the ones that look, smell and taste the same, but makes you into an alien and zobs everybody, I pulled a string out and to my astonishment I found myself with a tiny beautiful blue cape, pink skirt and purple t-shirt.
