In Which We Discover the 101st Acre

"In Which We Discover the 101st Acre" is a short story by author Robert P. Ottone which blends the world of Winnie-the-Pooh with Lovecraftian horror. It was published in the April Moon Books anthology The Call of Poohthulhu in May 2022.
== Synopsis ==
In Hundred Acre Woods, long after young Christopher Robin has stopped visiting, Owl begins to notice that their small corner of the world is being encroached upon by a mysterious mist. Investigating, he hears strange noises in the fog, and notices titanic shapes moving around inside its borders.
Alerting the other animals, they try to discern the nature of the miasma, but their attentions seem to increase the rate at which its incursion progresses. Attempting to flee, first Kanga, then Rabbit are swallowed up, and it is not long before Pooh, Piglet and Eeyore are too. Finally only Owl and Roo remain, fearfully waiting for the mist to wash across them too.
The story concludes with Christopher Robin, now a soldier in the British Army, digging through the ruins of his family home, unearthing the remains of his burnt children's toys, and going on with the search for survivors in Blitz-era London.
