Is it time for a prank?
Now that you’re aware that this story is satire, it’s probably about time you pulled a joke on your friends and family. I mean, they have no idea what’s going on, right? It could be amusing to play a practical joke on them by telling them this story.
Of course, you’ll have to tell them it’s a hoax at some point. You can’t let people believe a trans-species individual who self-identifies as a deer was killed by hunters. It would be inhumane!
