Eeyore Makes a Friend

"Eeyore Makes a Friend" is a short story by author Jackson Parker which introduces the characters of A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh stories to Lovecraftian horror. It was published in the April Moon Books anthology The Call of Poohthulhu in May 2022.
== Synopsis ==
When a meteor makes planetfall in Hundred Acre Woods, gloomy donkey Eeyore investigates, meeting a small rock which speaks to him in his head, and convinces him to create a double of himself to avoid being lonely. As the days go by, this new double drains Eeyore's vitality, and he discovers that it has been secretly meeting with his friends while pretending to be him. Eventually the entity assumes Eeyore's identity entirely, leaving him as no more than a sad soul trapped forever inside the form of a poorly-made mannikin.
