Silent Death My Dear Mouse
#WritcoStoryPrompt18
The mouse crept through the silent house in search of its nightly meal. It's ears twitched in rhythm to the creaking wooden floorboards. As the mouse scampered toward the bedroom door.
A shrinking scream came from behind the door and paralyzed the mouse with fear. The air turned to frost and a chilling wind passed through the poor mouse causing it to stand on its hind legs. The mouse stayed frozen unable to run away. He could hear the shuffle of steps moving on the other side of the door. The mouse was too curious to run away wondering why the sounds had stopped. When the dead body suddenly came crashing through the door, the mouse's tiny heart started beating fiercely against his chest. The mouse clutched his chest and fell back dead. The house is silent again.
