Dear George,
Second post of the day. It is now 15*C outside, the price of a first class stamp remains 46p and I'm in a state of shock.
I'm at work right now. Working away in my office when my attention was caught by shrieks and laughter from the crew room next door. a little mouse had decided to climb up onto the sofa and casually sit on the edge of one of crew's laptop.
"it won't move!"
It didn't. it was just chilling, washing his little fury face. There were 6 of us standing in a semi-circle around it just staring at the mouse, all knowing it had to die and none of us wanting to be the one to do it. As we stood there it was clear that the mouse was probably going to die anyway but we knew, as much as we were hoping it would just leave the arm of the sofa and pass away in some distant wall cavity, this was not going to happen. So what to do??? Kill it there? Try and ignore it and let it die in peace or ignore it and hope it goes away? Set it free to die somewhere else? take it to a quiet out of the way place in the theatre and let it go? I knew i certainly couldn't do it. What a moral dilemma!
The laptop way moved from under it and the mouse rather pathetically lurched and continued to remain in one place. As we decided who would deal the death blow i couldn't help notice the mouse had climbed onto a book titled "Britain's most notorious serial killers". Was the little fella trying to communicate with us?
I'll leave out the grizzly details of it's last moments on earth. The mouse has passed on and now rests inside a Tesco carrier bag, inside a tall bin no more than 5 feet away from me.
Could you kill a mouse?
Love and hugs
Little Dave
