[The bone is

the bone is

smooth and polished under his fingers. It comes away from the others easily, no resistance at all, as if he was doing no more than picking it out of the air.


Behind the one he holds in his hand, piece by piece, the bones begin to fall.]

[ ---lets go of the bone with a start, because that is too much like bone--

--and yet instinctively tries to grab the other falling bones out of the air ]

[His fingers close around one, but the others are falling, falling

and he is falling

but even thoughts are falling away now, falling into the dark.]
