rabbits

Rabbits. I walked through the door, visiting an acquaintance, and I was greeted by rabbits. Several of them twitched and hopped about, each a different colour and size. An excessively fluffy rabbit with caramel and white silky fur stood on its back legs and put its front paws on my legs, just as a dog would. For all its softness, its little claws were slightly painful on my skin. I gently pulled its paws from my leg and it latched onto my wrist. Again, I removed its paws, noticing that it had more than one claw for each toe; in fact, it had many, many small claws, each pale and creamy but extremely sharp. I ventured inside and the various rabbits huddled at my feet, moving with me as I walked about the room.
