“REMI GO AND GET SOME CHEESE! WE’RE RUNNING OUT!”

“Fine.” Remi muttered.

Remi belonged to a family of house mice. They relied on the food found in the house. Today, it was Remi’s turn to collect some cheese.

Muttering angrily under his breath, Remi took deep breaths and let his senses focus on his surroundings. The kitchen seemed safe and quiet. Good. Scuttling quietly and keeping an eye out for any dangers, Remi got closer to the kitchen counter. A marvellous scent of fresh cheese wafted into his nose. Huge cookbooks were stacked around the glorious prise, along with various spices. Licking his chops, Remi leapt onto cupboard handles and shimmied his way up.

He was so close, so close. Remi was so busy that he never noticed the dull thudding on the floor getting louder. A terrified scream suddenly shattered the silence, as a hideous two legged hairless creature gaped at him. Startled, Remi darted behind the spices as the two-legged monster continued screaming and rushed to alarm others. No time to lose!

He sprinted to where the cheese lay, just skirting around a deadly trap in time. Carrying a huge chunk of the yellow food, he ran for his life to his home. The air escaped from his lungs when something lifted his tail up and his prize fell. He squealed, twisted around and bit the disgusting, filthy hand, giving him enough time to escape and grab the cheese before safely entering his hole.

“WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG REMI!”
