I'm riding in a car, and I'm in the backseat. I have a small cage with a mouse in it. The mouse escapes in the car, and I frantically reach for it under the seat. After several minutes of struggling, I finally catch it and put it back into the cage, only to realize that I have broken it's neck in the process. I feel sick and guilty for accidentally killing this creature. The car stops as we reach our destination. I get out of the car and see someone I know. I'm rather upset and trying to explain to them about the mouse, but I end up describing the death of a person. It all gets confused in my mind and I think that I have killed a human being.
