Death in the night
#WritcoStoryPrompt18
The mouse crept through the silent house in search of its nightly meal. It's ears pricked at the scream, causing it to stand on its hind legs to spot the source. When the body came crashing down, it scampered away with its tiny heart beating fiercely. He entered through the hole it came out of panting as if it's heart would come out of its position. Slowly it walked towards the entrance of the hole, peeping to see what had actually happened. It peeped away slowly as if scared of the sight it would see. Right, left, up and down it looked around and it's eyes came in contact with a woman's body lying on the kitchen floor. The mouse walked towards her to have a closer look of what was actually in front of its eyes. She lay lifeless on the kitchen floor. The mouse asked, "is she dead, has she fainted?" The mouse decided to climb on her to feel if her heart was beating an if she was breathing and then came the discovery that she was dead. The mouse again started asking itself, "Oh dear! Is this because of me? Is she dead because of me? What have I done?"
The husband came rushing down in search for his wife as he had heard a big thud while he was in the bedroom. He found his wife on the ground, and rushed to her. On his knees he fell beside her and touched her face and held her hand all in a bid to check for a pulse and her breath. He then started called out to her loudly as if his loud call would bring life back to her. He lay close to her and held her close for a few hours all in a bid to try and spend final moments with his wife.
He gathered courage and called the police to let them know that his wife had just left him all alone on this earth. The police came with an ambulance right behind them, the peramedics picked the lady's body and they begun their investigation to find out what truly happened during the night. The husband gathered his courage and tried as much as he could to answer all tne questions he was asked by the policemen. At some point he couldn't handle all of it anymore and it all came to reality that his wife was no longer with him and broke down in front of the police men. "Sir, I think we have enough information for now, we shall leave you to have some rest. We shall call you when we need anything."The policemen said. The mouse came out of his hiding and watched over him the whole night as if scared that he would also die.
After a few days the postmoterm was done and it indicated that the wife had a heart attack. The husband was shocked because the wife was a perfectly healthy lady and that's when it downed on him. "There are cctv cameras in this house, I can watch them to find out what really happened to my dear wife." He opened his laptop and searched for his cctv footage records and he discovered something shocking. What he saw was really not what he was expecting. He saw a mouse coming out of its hiding place, running across the room, the wife coming down the stairs entered the kitchen and sighted the mouse running across the kitchen floor like it was his own playroom and that's the moment her body met with the floor.
The husband came to the conclusion that his wife passed away because of the mouse in his house because he knew that his wife had a serious hate and phobia of rodents.
