When She Was Very Tired

"When She Was Very Tired" is a short Cthulhu Mythos story by author Lisa Cunningham which blends the world of A. A. Milne's children's character Winnie-the-Pooh with the horror of H. P. Lovecraft. It was published in the April Moon Books anthology The Call of Poohthulhu in May 2022.
== Synopsis ==
Kanga, an unwitting avatar of the Outer God Shub-Niggurath, lives her life quietly in Hundred Acre Woods, watching her friends re-enact the stories of "the Authors" daily, and listening to the whispering voices in her head. When her child Roo is mortally wounded in an accident, Kanga lets the little being die rather than heal it again, and with this act her consciousness drifts back to rejoin its source.
