The Mouse That Stole My Heart
A Clever and Endearing Intruder
A little mouse suddenly entered my apartment and sprinted across the room as I typed on my computer. Despite setting up traps, I couldn't catch the little guy. The exterminator explained that the mouse picked up the human scent and avoided them.
I used gloves when setting up new traps. But the little guy avoided them. As time passed, I developed a soft spot for the little guy. While plugging a hole in the wall, I noticed his little whiskers.
He was gone, and I was thrilled I managed to spare his life!
