User:Bobzombie/Mouse An Aftermath Short Story

Part 1 The Mouse

The Mouse walked around the plain. He looked it over. He saw two hungry cats and an eagle above. He tried to blend in with the other mice. But the cats and the eagle just kept following him. So thought the mouse you want to eat me? Well you are gonna have to work for your dinner.

The mouse broke into a brisk walk. The other mice took no notice of him walking but the cats knew which mouse he was. The eagle knew which mouse he was.

At this point the mouse knew he was in trouble. He just started flat out running. The cats ran after him, pushing over the other mice as they ran. The eagle soared above him. Calmly following his every move. The cats hungry. Brandishing their claws. Practically dripping with poison ready to eat his brain.

The cats were almost on top of him. He looked around for any hole to disappear into. He found one. He looked back and saw the cats. Malicious intent obvious even on their expressionless faces.

He ran into the bar. He rubbed his whiskers and thought What are they doing here? What do they want with me? I have done enough for them.

Yet the cats kept coming. Then the other mice saw the cat. They all stood stunned for a moment. Then in an instant they exploded. They all screamed and ran. The confusion threw the cats off of their death hunt.

The Mouse pulled out his weapon……And prayed. Then he ran again. The Cats coming after him. Throwing their explosive poison at him. The poison hit the ground and ate it.

The mouse turned towards the cats and used his weapon. They took cover. The mouse used their momentary delay in actions to run. Then suddenly he remembered the eagle. The silent leader. He looked up and saw the eagle sweeping down from the sky. Metal armor gleaming in the midnight moon.
