Marvin the Mouse - Short Funny Story (well, based on my humor...)
Marvin snores in a cozy scrap bedding when a delectable smell comes flowing through the front door. His whiskers twitch as one blurry eye opens. Peanut butter? He fluffs his fur and flicks his long tail while peeking out the door into the human's kitchen. Yes! Little Suzie is getting herself a snack. Standing on a wooden stool, she sticks her entire hand inside a peanut butter jar. Marvin knows it's only a matter of time before that glorious moment happens. A glob of peanut butter hits the wooden floor. Glorious! Marvin grins. He could skitter out to the gooey gold, get a mouthful and be back before Suzie even finishes licking her fingers. Sprinting towards his goal, something catches the corner of his eye. He skids to a stop in the middle of the room. Whiskers freeze, paws go numb. Stomach tightens, eyes clench shut. He pulls his tail in close. Heart's pounding, trying to force blood back into his paws. His nose searches for the scent that is about to take his life....
