Belinda Says Hay: ”What the English Did”
Hello. It's Belinda. Greetings from the “annex.” That’s what the petsitter calls it. The rabbit annex. Come on. It’s a basement. On the drive here, my roommate said we would be staying “in the rabbit room.” Sounded nice. Might be decorated with hay bales. With some sort of tunnels in the floor.

Belinda Says Hay: “Little Fang’s List”
Hello. It's Belinda. It all started the other night. I was dreaming and I wasn't a fan of the dream. "To put it mildly." The thing is, ever since my roommate told me about the eclipse I can't sleep.
