further and sneak around the room as quietly as you can,” he said.
The captain was just a green blur to me. I couldn’t really see him.
Still, I did what I was told, nearly bumping into a chair I didn’t see.
“Now I want you to charge me with all your might and see if you can
knock me over,” he said. “Sir, I weigh only a few pounds and am
quite sickly. I do not think this is a fair contest,” I said.
“Who said anything about fair? I intend to crush you into a little
ball of fur,” he said. He really did think I was a rabbit. This
bothered me. After so many years in the infirmary, how could
anybody think I was still a rabbit. I slunk out of his room with
my head nearly banging against my knees, longing for my bed again,
not knowing if I’d ever find it.

them their moment of sunshine, so fragile and tenuous. I removed
the photo from its pocket and stuck it in mine. I went to the
window and looked down. An old man in a uniform stood there.
“Come on down, son, we’re going to have to arrest you,” he said.

said hello back. “Was that okay, Joaquin?” I said. “Very good,”
he said. A while later a girl I knew came up and hugged me.
“Joaquin, was that a mistake?” I said. “No, perfect,” he said.
Finally, we went into the ice-cream parlor. A waitress took our
order. A woman came up to Darrell and said, “Mind if I join
you?” Darrell said, “Of course not, please do.” She said,
“Darrell, I’ve missed you. Where have you been?” Darrell
looked at Joaquin, Joaquin nodded. Then Darrell said, “Plan B
has allowed me to find you. We must always be grateful for that.”
“Glory be to Plan B,” we all spoke together. I started licking
my chocolate cone with a deep sense of mystery.
