Out in the woods, the bunnies sniff the air and hop tentatively through the underbrush. Things are changing here; something is happening. A lot of things have appeared over the last few sunrises and sunsets, and now there is one more thing.
A Thing has appeared, a Thing about as tall as a bunny can stretch up high and as long as five or six bunnies side-by-side, shaped like a log with closed ends. One time when the light in the sky went away, it was not there and then when the light came back, it was. The bunnies have sniffed it, circled it, watched it and it has not moved, has made no noise except a low, waiting hum deep inside it.
It does nothing, in fact, except for one small part on one side which glows steadily. A brilliant red glow, one red stick and two red circles, like two demon bunny eyes staring back at them.
The bunnies sniff at it once more, then run into their burrow as darkness gathers in the woods. As night falls, the only light in that section of the forest is that one red glow.

It's not bright enough to illuminate the small sticker on the side, almost hidden in the underbrush, and of course even if it was, the bunnies wouldn't understand what was written there: a place name, a serial number, a hazard warning about electromagnetic fields, and a materials reference number starting with the letters E, M, P.
