Whiskton pulls on his
mice mitts, grabs the cheese saber, and peanut butter power globes
before he entered their new home. With The Wand at his side, what could
go wrong?
The door swings open with a long creak, and a soft dull thud as it
reached the wall. The Wand was so keyed up with anticipation that he was
startled by the sound. In a nervous reaction, he emitted a small spark
of energy right at the peanut butter power globe. Exploding it into
million particles of slimy matter all over the entrance way.
Whiskton gives a hard side glance at The Wand. Wondering at that moment
if it might have been better to have left him at home. A flashlight
might have been a better companion given the night's only source of
light, that of the full moon above.
Quite in the distance within the home, began the soft sounds of little
feet scurrying across wood floors. The sound grew louder until Whiskton
could feel the floor itself shake. Trying his best to keep his balance
and remain standing, he drops the cheese saber. The shaking stops while
he watched his cheese saber roll well into the home. Both Whiskton and
The Wand stared into the dark room. A single pair of glowing eyes peered
back at them. "There it is!" The only words either of them would say, as
the one pair of eyes became two, then ten, then one hundred, then a
billion.
Whiskton and The Wand took one look at each other before Whiskton turned
running like the wind away from the home. His mice mitts waving madly in
the air as he went. The Wand flittered to and fro sending out an
occasional bursts of sparks doing his best to keep pace with his friend.
Behind them, the massive herd of mice crying in unison; "Great leader,
Great leader!"
On the far roadside, a car starts, then proceeds to the home. Molly had
been waiting in the car for the promised signal. She stepped into the
home took in a breath and said; "Clean at last". Turned, then closed and
locked the front door.
