Linda couldn't believe her eyes, but Polly was a rabbit! And it wasn't just Polly who had changed, everyone on the street was shifting form, turning into hybrids and yet going about their day as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
The changes weren't just for Linda or her family, it seems everyone was changing! The postman who was coming up the street was suddenly a badger, and as he stopped to talk to Mrs.Whitaker, she had turned into a shrew.
Linda looked over the hedge that surrounded their garden and saw old Mr.Menzies on his porch waving goodbye to his grandson and daughter, only to watch all three slowly morph into pheasants.
'What's wrong with you' said Polly, her nose twitching madly. Linda focused on the nose twitching. Polly's nose always twitched when she spoke. Of course it always twitched, she was a Rabbit. Linda could recall making jokes about Polly the Rabbit's twitching nose all their lives, ever since kindergarten. And Polly always made fun of Linda's tail in return.
It wasn't just their bodies that where changing, it was their memories too.
