The penipeni thrashed about on the ground. It couldn't understand what had happened. One moment it was rising at the promising of impending refreshing and the next it could no longer feel the Alice it was attached to. It shrank and became weak and cold. As it's life left it, as the light came closer, the penipeni thought one final thought: "I...wanted...to...refresh.......more..."
The penipeni lay still. Nothing its Alice could do would revive it.
