I held the  rock in my hand; loosely. It slid down to the tip of my fingers. 11:08, I had two minutes left, everything was set up and every one was in there places. I pulled my hand up to my face, I examined it very closely noticing each and every curve and edge. 11:09, 1 minute left, 1 last minute to be a nobody, an invisible nobody. I had one minute to live the rest of my life, or should I say my past life. 11:10, time. I raised the rock to behind my ear, I gave it a great force of speed as it spun and hit the glass, there no longer was silence, I now will never live a day with out attention.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
