The air smelled strongly of ammonia. The rhythmic *thump-thump* of the rabbit hopping in its cage was driving him around the bend. He’d spent the entire morning trying to concentrate on his work, but his thoughts kept being interrupted. "He needs a friend!"

He ran a hand through his hair and then stood up, unable to sit any longer. He found himself pacing. He was going to lose his mind.
