    HAVE A NIGHTMARE

    •You fell asleep, having a nightmare about an alleyway and two, humanoid bunnies.•

    ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

    •There were small lights here and there, a faint pool of fog below your knees. You were walking... somewhere until you saw an alleyway. You didn't have a weapon, not even an umbrella, but you wanted to... take a shortcut. Going in, you saw something down in the shadows: two, 4-foot tall bunnies—one sun-colored that smiled with black eyes and one black that had an indifferent expression with white eyes, almost blending into the darkness—both holding hands. The white one had a “balloon” made out of meat and the black one held an eco-box with ants in her free hand.•

    •This was a legend—about two bunnies in an alleyway between a school and an amusement park [which explains their items, kinda]. You remember an online thread you saw talking about ‘raincoat bunnies’ four months ago relating to a thread about dreams, nightmares, and... astrology or something. But you didn't think it was real, maybe your mind was just subconsciously shaken up by it.•

    •If you said their names, in a loud, sharp female voice to mimic a mom or something, they'll run away... But would it work since they already see you? The names are in the alley—a clue somewhere. Hopefully, you didn't pass it since you've been walking for under a minute in the alleyway.•

    We are lost, can you give us a ride home?•The white one said with a child-like, feminine voice.•

    We will take you where the public parking is to take us home. Follow.•The black one said as a follow-up, also in a similar voice. Both of them stopped holding each other's paw, offering you their free paw.•

    •They will ask you questions; if you don't answer, answer incorrectly, or talk nonsense, you will be led by the rabbits through the alley that's less than 200 meters until you wake up and die. There is no other choice than to take their hand and hope their questions are simple...•
