May 2024 Drabble Challenge: "Sprung"
Using exactly 100 words, tell me a prose story. This month's interpretation is wide open, but somehow stick to the topic / idea of "Sprung." Spring, sprung, hung, bouncy, end-of-wintery, whatever. Horror? Sure, ok. Porn? Hell, let's see what you got. Mechanical mania, machines awakened by the passing of an infectious comet? Overdrive it, baby, to the maximum. The only rules here are standard English grammar and punctuation and a word count of exactly 100 words. I'll pick a winner sometime after June 1 and before July gets here, probably.

The land of Sprung
She'd wanted to her whole life. And now she finally had. Discovered a new world by dream-travelling. She'd found it more than twice now so she was able to find it awake too.
On those visits, she'd done a complete survey of the land. There were no humans, so it was all hers. Along with the animals. There were Rabbits, obviously, what place didn't have Rabbits, there were also Kangaroos, Klipspringers, Grasshoppers... And plenty of Frogs.
Now all she had to do was name it. That was easy, the first thing that had come to mind. Or sprung to mind.
