that its breathing had evened out she
placed it beside her pillow folding a
cloth to cover it gently after lying
down she found the mouse's somewhat
disheveled sleeping face to be utterly
adorable who can truly understand when
you long to raise a pet yet for various
reasons you never manage to do so
suddenly one day you find yourself with
an incredibly affectionate pet that
trusts you clings to you protects you is
remarkably intelligent and can even
speak the sensation is akin to filling
the empty chambers of your heart with
soft warm cotton it feels as if she
finally has a family eson tion gazed at
the little creature she gradually drifts
off to sleep outside the small adobe
house the wind howled and Rain poured
heavily yet it did not disturb the
Tranquility within where one person and
one Mouse resided amidst the vast ocean
small Islands isolated themselves in the
water surrounded by waves ey in the hazy
downpour they resembled floating weeds
or perhaps small fortresses of safety
each island had several small platforms
encircled by heavy Shadows they stood
unafraid of the Wind and Rain Gaz in
hungrily at the little houses on the
platforms their predatory gleam evident
as they leapt desperately towards them

either battered at the thatched roofs or
pounded on the doors causing those
inside to feel Panic however outside

disturbance upon her return she had
raised the platform to its highest level
leaving those dark figures seething and
frustration beneath unable to do

gonon was awakened by her alarm it was
already deep into the night and the rain
outside had ceased mouse mouse she
