Death of a mouse

There we were sitting, conversing on life, I saw from the corner of my eye a little head pop up and down from the edge of the road, I asked my friend if he saw it and he said yes. It was a mouse and it was alive. Just as we spoke a vehicle cut the curve and there was mouse all around.. His heart was glued to a good year headed south on 21. Poor little thing.. So much for saving it a scrap of pizza. =).
