Stalin, my mouse, died today.<\/p>\n
I won’t go into detail. It wasn’t pleasant for me, and I doubt much of
\nanyone would enjoy reading about it. My last ditch efforts to save him were
\nin vain. When I’d done all I knew to do, I laid him back in his cage. He
\ndidn’t move all day.<\/p>\n
Selecting a spade from the Myer’s shed, I dug a hole beneath their apple
\ntree. It may sound like a romantic place, but it turned out to be a rather
\nstupid choice, too many roots in the way. “Well, Bud,” I said through a
\ntightening throat for the last time as I picked up his tiny, stiff body and
\nlaid it in the shallow hole, “you better be dead.” Then I looked the other
\nway as I dumped a shovelful of dirt in. Stomping everything down, I walked
\nback to the shed to put the shovel back, hoping the cat wouldn’t dig him up.<\/p>\n
I hosed out the cage and left it to dry. Then I went back to work.<\/p>\n
