The Rabbit Trick

I kept pulling rabbits out of the hat. I didn't think anything of it. Magic, you know. The kind that makes people ask "how do you do it" as if it's as easy as an explanation.

But there was nothing wrong with it. People liked the rabbits.

But I kept pulling them out. And now they're... different. They're faces are just a little bit off. And they're looking at me funny.

I tried pulling out a fox once, just to see if the rabbits would go back to normal. But people expect rabbits.

So I keep pulling rabbits out of the hat. I'm beginning to worry.

But really, what can I do?
