The rabbit hops close to me and places its front paws on my feet as it looks up at me.

“Little Sister,” it says, “I am here to tell you something.”

“What?” I ask in a voice that is no longer angry, a voice that is small and halting.

“Your parents,” the rabbit says, “they have been buried.”

“No,” I whisper. “They can’t be dead.” I want to shout, but to do that I’d have to catch my breath, and right now it feels as if I can’t breathe at all.

The rabbit’s paws are patting my knee.

“Little Sister,” the rabbit says, “I did not say they were dead. If they were dead, then you could not help them. They are buried but not dead.”

Buried but not dead? Can I find hope in that? And if I can’t understand what it means, how can I help them? I’m confused and I want to ask the rabbit to explain, but before I can do so it is gone.

I sit up, looking around for the rabbit, reaching for it…and I find myself grasping the blankets of my bed.
