Rabbit Trick: A Mindspace Investigations Novella - Plot & Excerpts
“Excuse me?” I glanced up from the magazine. Turned. A small child looked up at me with big eyes. “Can I ride the horsies?” Behind her, a tired mother stood with a stroller. Great. Another one. “No, you can’t. We’re closed.” “It’s rotating,” the mother said in a quiet voice. “Horsies! I want the horsies!” the little girl said, looking at the nursery rhyme characters with their brass detailing like the carousel was made of jelly beans. I put the magazine to the side, my stomach sinking. “There aren’t any horsies here, see? Just ducks and nursery rhyme characters. For babies. You don’t want to be a baby, do you?” As I spoke, to the right Bo Peep’s eyes glinted at me. “Not a baby!” The kid screwed up her face. I held out a hand, still keeping an eye on Bo Peep. “Don’t cry.” The mother had already found the unsteady bench the mall stocked for parents that never came. “Can’t she just ride for awhile?” “It’s fifteen dollars.” I needed her to go away.
