There's a Mouse in the House!

Time to get a cat. There's a mouse in the house and we've spotted it in almost every room (albeit in different times of course). Its' pretty small, but heck its freaking fast. I cannot recall a single time where i've seen it static cause its always moving swiftly from one spot to another, always hiding behind stuff. There has been attempts to kill it with a tennis racket, text book, basketball....all to no avail. So we went out to buy a trap...thinking of one with poison. But then, none of us want to open our closet to find a dead rat thats needs disposing. So we came across this cool looking trap which basically lures the rat into it (duh!) and then it detects the impact and shuts the entrance. And its covered so we won't actually need to see the rat or touch it. Cool! So we stuffed some cheese into it and set it at a corner of the room. And so we wait.

After a few days, we wonder if the mouse is still around. The trap is still empty. I wikipedia-ed about mouses and it suggested to use chocolate instead. Fine. I'm a bit unwilling to part with a block of my dark chocolate bar, but it is a sacrifice i am willing to make. So i stuffed it in and some butter. If that doesnt spell DELICIOUS i don't know wat else does. (i almost caught my finger in the trap!)

Days went by. Still no signs of the mouse. Maybe it got scared. So i was sleeping in my Deedoo's room, and suddenly she screamed "MOUSE!!!!!". It woke me up and i grabbed a nearby racket and started prodding the spot where the mouse was spotted. We chased it out of the room and it ran into the corner of the living room. We alerted all the housemates. We grabbed a weapon each and started chasing the mouse all over the place. Even with all of us it was unlikely that we are able to kill it. So we thought of a perfect plan to chase it out of the house. And we succeeded. After a whole hour chasing it around. Mission accomplished!

So i went up to do my assignment, feeling relieved and accomplished. I look towards the mirror of my closet and saw this black thing on the floor with a tail looking thing. Then it starting moving into the corner of my closet.



...............fuck.
