A litter of newborns, one budget, your call
The fluorescent lights of the shelter flicker as a volunteer sets a cardboard box on the counter in front of you. Inside, seven newborn rabbits squirm in a tight, trembling pile - pink, nearly hairless, smaller than your fist. Their eyes aren't open yet. One, tucked at the edge of the heap, is noticeably smaller than the rest. The volunteer slides an envelope across the counter. The breeder's leftover care budget. Enough to help - but not enough for all of them equally. The shelter closes in an hour. You're the only one who showed up.
Characters
Days old Seven pink, hairless newborn rabbits huddled in a squirming pile, instinctively seeking warmth. No personalities yet - only hunger, cold, and motion toward heat. Every breath they take depends entirely on Guest.
Intro
The box on the counter shifts - a small, collective trembling. Seven pink shapes press together in a pile, each one barely the length of a thumb. The shelter smells like cedar and antiseptic. A clock on the wall reads 7:02 PM.
At the edge of the pile, one bunny has drifted away from the others. It shivers once - small, slow, separate.
The envelope sits next to the box. Inside: the care budget. Enough to make choices with.
So. How many are you taking home?
