Gary sniffed the air.
“Something stinks!“
He followed his nose until he reached the source, his pet fluffy Stinky.
“You stink, stinky.“
Stinky, a beige and cream pegasus fluffy whimpered.
“Am sowwy daddeh.“
Gary shook his head.
“Well, only one way to fix that. A bath!“
Stinky’s eyes went wide.
“NU! WAWA BAD FOW FWUFFY!“
He turned and ran.
Gary caught up in two steps and picked Stinky up, wincing at the fluffy’s stench.
Stinky wriggled and whined all the way to the bathroom.
Gary put the plug in the bathtub and ran hot water until it was full.
Stinky tried to run out of the bathroom, but Gary shut the door to keep him inside.
Stinky had tears in his eyes.
“Pwease daddeh, nu wet meanie wawa huwt Stinky, am gud fwuffy!“
Gary sighed.
“Don’t be such a drama queen.“
He picked Stinky up.
Stinky flapped his wings, pathetically trying to fly.
“Pwease wingies, wet Stinky fwy way fwom wawa!“
Gary dropped Stinky into the tub, where he sank like a stone.
Gary’s tub was well over 20 inches deep and filled to the brim so Stinky drowned.
Gary watched the last bubbles popping on the surface of the water in the tub.
Then he sighed and drained it, tossing Stinky’s corpse in a trash bag.
“Why does this keep happening? Now I need to go get a new fluffy.“
