The Squirrel Rehabilitation

A Short Story I Came Up With After Watching A Bond Between A Man and A Squirrle

By H J MyersPublished 11 months ago 2 min read

It is an Early sunrise summers day in the middle of a suburb of Los Angeles, a handsome young man is sitting on his porch at the rear of his home, enjoying the sunshine while sipping on his morning coffee and watching the daily scurry of nature's great animals he can hear the soft snores of his pet dog in the distance while sitting behind him on his small soft round bed, the lavender vines above his head move rapidly with movements of the fairy tailed wonders that have been leaping and weaving in and out off them often.

One stopped in front of the young man curiously looking at him, the man remembered he had a collection of healthy snacks in his kitchen pantry, he got up gingerly so as not to startle his new little curious friend. He entered his pantry and grabbed what was left of the Pecans from the middle shelf, he then walked back out and sat down, his new little friend was still there, his little head twitching from side to side as he heard the rustle of the pecan packet.

“Hey little buddy, why aren't you with your friends?” he asked the curious baby squirrel who seemed to be a different shape to all the others, maybe a little frailer, the young man began to feed the squirrel holding out his hand to the small wide eyed fluffy wonder in front of him the squirrel took the pecan out of the young man's hand and began to nibble away on the nut, watching in awe the young man watched as the cute little baby squirrel nibbled away.

Everyday after for weeks the same baby squirrel would go sit on the young man's lap every morning and throughout the day. The young man from then on would give the baby milk and feed him nuts he even had his own little house now in the young man's back garden, he was strong and healthy by now and the young man had one big decision should she let him go, the day eventually came when he eventually had to let him go now he was a little stronger. On the initial release date the baby squirrel who was still weak managed to climb up on a phone wire and then unfortunately fell down and broke his leg.

The young man then rehabilitated the Baby Squirrel once more until he was back to the healthiest he had ever been and now once again came the day to release him back to his friend into the busy bustling tree’s surrounding the glorious foot hills of Los Angeles.

Everyday from there on in the Baby Squirrel would come to visit the young man, as if to say it's because of you i am back with my friends and i feel loved thank you, the lavender vines bounced with pride as the Baby Squirrel and his new friends hung around the young man that saved him.
