Mice and Rats
How's my apartment? I'm glad you asked.
There are mice and rats in my apartment but it's not like the hideous ones in most movies but like Ratatouille and Micky Mouse (good thing I have Pluto!). Such adorable creatures (well, you just have to get used to the rat tails).
But they make great company in my living situation. I have them while I'm watching hours upon hours of Netflix or cooking. They love my leftovers in the sink. It's sometimes a hassle when they into the fridge though; those rascals!
They know when to comfort me when I'm tired and are playful when I'm energetic. With them, the apartment is making noises all the time; glasses fall, walking in the vents and of course sipping water from the sink. I often have to tell them to get out of the shower when I have company over or even jumping people's heads. Not everyone enjoys that feeling like me.
Don't get me wrong, I do feel bad for them when I'm out of the apartment all day. But luckily, their families seem to be growing exponentially!
Sometimes I do like writing a little fiction here and there. But as a writer, you are somewhat moved by the life you live.
