Emma has learned to endure by silence. In the neat little house on a quiet British street, her days are measured by the weight of footsteps on the stairs, the scrape of a key in the lock, the timbre of a man's voice soured by drink. To her son, Toby, she is mother, protector, shield. To her partner, Mark, she is possession. One brutal night shatters the fragile routines Emma has clung to, and she realises she can no longer keep Toby safe by staying. Clutching her son's toy rabbit - its ear crudely stitched after years of wear - Emma steps into a world of shadows, secrecy, and fear. Every moment is a test: a neighbour's glance, a slammed door, the quiet terror of being followed. The rabbit's ear becomes more than a token of childhood comfort; it is a mark of resilience, a reminder that what is broken can still be mended. In this tense and haunting novella, The Rabbit's Ear follows a mother's desperate fight to escape domestic violence, capturing both the suffocating grip of control and the fragile pulse of hope. With cinematic intensity, S. Bradley delivers a tale of love, resilience, and survival - where the ending is not triumph, but possibility.
