S2E4: Bunny, Boy, and the Monster Hunt

Hi, I’m Darcie T. Kelly and this is Story Time with Darcie. In every episode you hear you a piece of my own short fiction. I’m an eclectic writer, so you may be surprised by the genres and situations, but what these stories have in common is their exploration of big ideas.

In May 2020, I read the first installment of The Adventures of Bunny and Boy: Bunny, Boy, and the Special Delivery. (I’ll leave a direct link to that episode in the show notes.) In that story, we met a toddler and his stuffed bunny and shared in one of their adventures. Today, I’m delighted to revisit these characters with the second installment: Bunny, Boy, and the Monster Hunt. 

As I don’t have any guest voices to thank this month, and there are no content warnings, let’s begin.



The first two installments of The Adventures of Bunny and Boy were written in early 2019 in the comforting hug that was The Old Bookstore Café in Camden East, Ontario. This Café was my happy place for quite a while. I had a regular table and a regular meal that was actually named after me! Sadly, The Old Bookstore Café didn’t survive Covid. 

If you are lucky enough to have a local spot that feels like an extension of your home, as The Old Bookstore Café was for me, please, find a way to support them as we move into our second year of pandemic restrictions. And to Bonnie and the gang from the Café, I miss you, think of you often, and hope the hugs sent your way through heart felt thoughts and digital sound waves reach you.
