One early morning I heard a sharp scream. I popped up from my bed and peered over the corner of my doorway hesitantly. Creeping slowly now, I make my way down the steps. One foot in front of the other in shaking anticipation. Finally I have arrived at the bottom of the steps. I'm left in a state of shock when I'm to find the culprit of this piercing noise... my cat eggy tearing into a little mouse. blood gushing everywhere. I never would have guessed that much blood would pour from such a small animal. Nonetheless, I take a sigh in relief that it was only a mouse and not something more gruesome.
