White Chocolate Mango Cheesecake

Yesterday, after a long day of work, I had this uncontrollable urge to eat something alive. Much like Oh Dae-Su in Oldboy who was released after 15 years of imprisonment and demanded to eat a live octopus, I wanted the same. It was as though my 8 hour shift had been extended to 8 years and I was confined to my little work space that I was becoming desperate to escape from. As soon as I returned home, I went on my hunt to find something to eat, alive. Much to my luck, I had spotted the rare, delicious, raw, MAGICAL WHITE RABBIT.
This is no ordinary rabbit my friends. When your teeth sink into this mystical creature, it is as though your whole body will explode from delight. The rabbit could see the hunger in my eyes, knowing well how delicious it tasted to us humans and attempted to escape.
He was no match for me but I will say the poor critter put up a tough fight. He hopped and hopped all over my house, barely escaping from my hands. However, he accidently hopped into my cutting board and I didn't dare miss this opportunity to CUT HIS HEAD OFF *cue psycho music*

He squealed and begged for its life but I was feeling merciless. Ruthlessly, I continued to cut it up into little pieces. Unlike regular white rabbits, the magical white rabbit does not die even with the slice of a knife, oh no my dear friends, the only way to kill this rabbit is to.......eat it! Muhahahahahaha.
I melted his body to enjoy this rabbit in its full creaminess. Again, unlike regular rabbits, this rabbit's inside are made of nothing but delicious whiteness that calls my name from what seems like the voices of angels. I could feel its creamy whiteness move in my mouth as I dipped my fingers in to have a taste and the sensation was so magnificent, that the feeling can be only be explained as an orgasm of the mouth or something along the lines of those candy that explode in your mouth.
The rabbit continued begging for mercy but it was too late. I had already melted half of his body and poured it into a quater cup.
Once his body filled up the whole quater cup, I then poured his body into a batter and set the mixing speed on high to ensure not a single part of my mixture be free of this white, magical rabbit.
The rabbit knew the fate that he was faced and rather than giving into this desperation, the rabbit decided to embrace the time he had left in this world. As he lay there, disarranged in what would appear to be a sea of cheesy goodness, he looked back at this brief life, thinking at how things would've been different had his not accidently run into the chopping board. He knew there was no changing fate now and with little regret, he readied himself for what lay ahead.
After spending 55 minutes in a 300F oven, the rabbit knew the end was near. However sad the fate of this rabbit may seem, you should know that he looked damn handsome during this time, possibly the best he's ever looked, a certain unattainable beauty marked with sincerely and all things wonderful. The magical white rabbit was now a beautiful creature baked inside a white chocolate mango cheesecake.
Once the cheesecake had been cooled and topped with sweet strawberries and kiwis, my parents took the first bite. My brothers joined them soon afterwards. My mother turned to me, and with great excitement, she says "Edward Bear, this cheesecake feels absolutely alive!" My whole family began nodding in agreement.

If only they knew.
