(Eight pages)
The wilderlands of England are the only places where one creature can legally hunt another in these civilised times, but this practice doesn't seem so civilised to the creatures living in them. Social change is putting pressure on those living in the wilderlands. Elder and Flint are two such rabbits in a family of many, but Elder has a plan that will quickly become bigger than their family, their forest, perhaps their country. (Doesn't social pressure sound interesting?)
Rated R for violence and a catgirl in a policewoman's uniform. Brief, hopefully satisfying soft oral F/m and implied, sustained UPPERCLASS/lowerclass.
Thanks to jaydee_007, 4ofSwords and Solomon for comments that made this a far better story. I think this is the best thing I've written so far.

"Hey look at me, I'm a metaphor!"
With cheek and charm you seduce the unsuspecting eye. It's rare these days to see someone take pride in their ability to take an audience for a ride.
Even rarer that the trip is as much fun as the destination...
You understand the full horror of dehumanization...yet you've perverted it in the telling with the kind of black humor that's kept the dehumanized alive all this time.
What will you do for your next trick?

With luck it'll be worth a comment like that. Cheers, mate, you've made my day.

“Hey, look at me! I'm a metaphor!”
I'm not sure I get this one. A prison? A pig?
Anyway, excellent work. I usually root for the monster/predator, but this one found me conflicted ^^'

I had in mind she made herself a metaphor for the oppression of the Wilders by her very specific oppression of this one uppity rabbit. With her alimentary canal.
Am deeply pleased to have caused you conflict! And intrigued to hear that you root for the predator! Do you identify that way?

Oh, she is that kind of bully then. The self-aware kind. The worst kind.
There is something genuinely terrifying in people who put all their intelligence in delivering the maximum harm.
Naturally, this perfect fits a sadistic pred.
And yes, I do identify as one. Always rooted for monsters when I watched cartoons as a kid. I desperately wanted them to win, just once. To eat the heroes or crush the city ^^'
There was a particular Goosebumps book I read once where the protagonist is chosen by a group of aliens. They want to turn him into their kind, a dominant one to lead them in their conquest of Earth. One of the aliens casually snatches a squirrel with his tongue as he explains this, and I was like "fuck yes, where do I sign?!" The protagonist wilfully embraces his destiny at the end. A rare pred W :p
Hard not to root for the little rabbits who fight oppression, though. Also the concept of prey farming brushes me against the grain. I'd rather my prey live happy, fulfilling lives. All the better when I come to take it from them =)

Thank you for sharing ^^
I have some notes from a story set in a farm and had to give up the project. It immediately dissolved into bleakness worthy of 1984. While I think there is definitely value in such a story/setting, really understanding what it would be like to be _farmed_ would leave me depressed for months. Much better to be wild-caught. One's meat might be tougher, but so much more flavorful.
