The Old Rabbit Trick
A hush fell over the crowd. The drum roll built to fever pitch. Breath suspended, everyone waited for Harvey to pull a human out of his hat.

How about that!! You’re right about great minds. Must be the terrific NW weather for the day! Hope you’ve had a good weekend, Quilly!

Quilly;
Nice to see that Harvey has found other work! Loved this one, suspense and all!
Peggy — Harvey and I are enjoying the applause. 😉
Sylvia — I’m sitting in the last sunbeam of the day as I type this. I love this “no coat” weather!
OMG, HARVEY! I’d forgotten all about him, for years, and we even staged it back in High School. (Talented me as ‘stage manager’, pfft)
LOL This was great!
Susan — see what happens. You sober up and forget your old friends.
i love it!That’s great!

Linda, Thanks. I am always happy to entertain.
Who the hell is Harvey? Am I the only stupid one in the group? Don’t answer. Was this Harry Houdini’s real name? It’s a great story I will say 🙂
Thom — some questions are so self-evident that they really don’t need answering. Harvey
Well I still don’t know who in the hell Harvey is!!! Oh wait, never mind…you wern’t referring to that part of the question…pfffft
Hehehehehe…. HOW cute!
I love it when church makes me cry Quilly. That happened to me two weeks ago! Isn’t it WONDERFUL?

People who can write short fiction like this always amaze me. Congrats, Q.

Gigi — thanks. It is easier than it seems. All you need is inspiration and a vocabulary. I know you have the vocabulary. You can do this!
I could tell by the look in his eyes, that was a pooka.

Perfect one!

I’m loving the different rabbit names everyone is picking.
Mad Hatter
.-= Nessa´s last blog ..Don’t Wine About Snow =-.
Nessa — it is fun. My fave so far is Mr. Bun.
Was it Jimmy, Harvey pulled out of his Hat? Loved this one, and it is funny I didn’t even think of Harvey until you and Peggy posted yours. I love this movie.
Jimmy would be pleased with you.
Have a good trip to Maine.
.-= Bill´s last blog ..Microfiction Monday #19 =-.
Bill — we are going to Massachusetts. And whoever the rabbit pulls out of the hat, I hope he’s better dressed than the rabbit is!
Sorry I thought it was Maine you were heading to. Enjoy the Baked Beans. I hope Jimmy has clothes on, though they say we are all naked under our clothes. Have a good trip
Nice twist!

Shakira — having the rabbit pull a human out of the hat onl seemed fair.
nice reversal gag
Thanks, John. Several of us apparently thought so!
Very cute, Quilly. Funnier still — Thom’s comment and your response. Should we let him in on who Harvey was? Ha ha ha
.-= southlakesmom´s last blog ..Sowing Peace =-.
Kelly — I gave Tom a link, but he was too lazy to click it, so I guess he doesn’t really care who Harvey was. He just wants to scream.
Haha, now that WOULD be some trick!
