Otto chuckled to himself as he laid on the floor in his room. Several weeks ago, he had secreted away a little friend found nearly frozen to death outside. It had taken some doing, but he had managed to nurse the little field mouse back to health. He often would sneak little Gadget Hackwrench extra food from the kitchen. She was particularly fond of any peanut butter sandwiches he brought back. Eventually though, she started to feel better, and Otto saw the little brown mouse a little less often.
Until she came back with a friend. Remy was a little larger, but the grey mouse was just as friendly. Just as addicted to peanut butter sandwiches. Just happy to be around animals again, Otto was thrilled to share a little space under his bed with them. Even when Remy’s older brother Emile showed up… and then Miss Bianca… and Timothy Q. Mouse…
Otto tried to convince the ever growing populace under his bed to vacate… and a few of his friends did. A few understood how things could get dangerous for them if they stayed and were found out. As the numbers grew, it was only a matter of time, after all. Still, there were more mice than he knew what to do with any more. And, like the mob they were forming, they weren’t listening to reason. No longer did they fear traps. They had plenty of food and shelter.
“GOTCHA!” He shouted as he pounced on a mouse with a bucket. “One down…” He sighed, not really sure how many more to go. He just hoped they’d all get the message and leave before more drastic measures were taken by the facility.
