"You just have to reach."

There was no response. I looked down at Bunny, who had reached a moment before and felt the horror of the moment. He had returned to the down. He was nothing more then the fluff he was filled with any more.

I couldn't reach him, and he could no longer reach me.

We'd been together for so long, and I thought I knew him. But there it was. He was looking down, just a little to the side, and the black buttons of his eyes were no longer bright and interested, but simply buttons.

"Please," I whispered. But there wasn't time. I had to go. I had to be somewhere else.

And nothing happened.
