How Rabbits Came to Earth

The Human Dimension: The magician’s hand reached into the hat.


The Rabbit Dimension: Jeff was relaxing in the sun when the Great Hand emerged from the clouds. As soon as it appeared the alarms were sounded. Every adult rabbit was to head to Lettus Square.

Jeff sighed and hopped toward the capital. He was having such a nice day until the Great Hand appeared. 

The closer Jeff got to the capital the more rabbits he saw. Nobody was grinding their teeth today.

Lettus Square was crowded. Jeff could barely see the platform where the Council sat, waiting for everyone to arrive. In the middle of the Council’s platform was a dish filled with paper scraps.

A few minutes later High Councilman Smudge rose to his hind legs. “As you have all seen the Great Hand has appeared. Today we must send one of our own to the human world. Councilman Sparta will now pull a name out of the Dish of Doom.”

A brown rabbit dipped his head into the bowl and grabbed a name with his teeth. He pulled it out and gave it to the High Councilman.

“The rabbit who will be leaving our realm today is Jeff Quest the V!” High Councilman Smudge said.

Jeff’s heart pounded. That was his name. He was going to the human world, where he would be forced to be someone’s pet or get eaten.

Everyone backed away from him.

“Jeff, go to the Great Hand,” High Councilman Smudge said. “Join the rabbits of the human world.”

“I don’t want to go,” Jeff said.

“You must,” the High Councilman said. “I’m sorry.”

Jeff looked around, hoping someone would volunteer to go in his place. No one came forward.

Jeff hopped away from the square and back to the field where the Great Hand was waiting.

The Great Hand grabbed Jeff by his black ears and lifted him into the sky.


The Human Dimension: The magician pulled his arm out of the hat. In his hand was a black rabbit. The crowd clapped. The magician bowed. Jeff stared down at the hat, wishing he could go back.
