My New Best Friend - Final Chapter?

I am sorry (or am I happy) to bring you the latest report on my new friend.

I have been patiently waiting for the 'snap' that says our friendship is over.

How many times have you wished it was that easy to end it with some of your friends?

So I went to sleep at 4 am expecting to have the final rites when I woke.

Somehow the little creature has avoided his destiny. I can hear all you mice lovers cheering. One explanation, he sleep the same time as me. Another, he was on a trip to another hot spot. Or maybe he got caught with his tail out at a different dive.

Whatever (I am refraining from using curses) the little creature has not made an appearance since about 4 am. I left him a snack of graham cracker right in front of the trap. Very seldom takes longer then a half hour for it to disappear but ten hours later it is still there.

I just heard a noise - can it be? Wait..........



I am sorry to report that 'it' ate its last meal just a few minutes ago.

Goodbye dear friend, you will NOT be missed.

And yes this is true - no literary license taken here my friends.
