Blue and the Mouse

WHAM!

Not again, I'm thinking as I roll over at 3 AM.

"Got him!"


Blue had just caught the mouse that had been terrorizing the dorm for the last couple of weeks. It even got into some lockers, including mine, and ate some soup, oatmeal, and chili.

First, with a shirt, then with a towel, Blue trapped the mouse and put him in an empty peanut butter jar. For several minutes various taunts, threats, and promises were voiced by guys in the dorm as Blue triumphantly showcased his prisoner overhead.

Even though the mouse had eaten his food, Blue decided to let it go on a probationary period. If the mouse ate any more of our food it was promised a quick death followed by a burial in a flush down the toilet.

Oh, the entertainment late at night here in prison!
