This morning I woke up as a giant Angora rabbit named Joey. Unlike Gregor Samsa's experience, this has been a very pleasant and soothing development. For the majority of the morning, I sat on the lap of my new owner (a rotund, syrup-voiced, silk-haired woman named Blanche), and munched on baby carrots while she brushed my fifteen-inch wool with a steel-tooth comb. In the afternoon, I hopped around my three-floor, oak and wire enclosure and ate a large number of crunchy spinach leaves. It was a wonderful and relaxing day. Tomorrow I will begin work on a slim, bracingly honest autofiction novel chronicling each minute detail of my thrilling, extraordinary life.
