Childrens Story

The mouse’s adventure

I trekked through the tunnel. I saw a light at the end. It must have been hours since I entered the tunnel. I had to get out of the rain. I came to a clearing; I was in a big, cold room with a huge metal machine. It was better than being outside. I watched water droplets form on the clear panels that let light into the room. A gate opened and two huge columns stomped into the room. This thing got into the metal machine and it started to roar. Its eyes started glowing and it started backing up. One of the walls opened up and the machine backed up out into the abyss. The wall closed back down and the room was silent once again. All I could hear now was the echo of rain outside.
I traversed across the room to the gate where the creature entered from. The gate had a hole in it which was covered by a flap. I hopped over the hole and into the other room. I could smell the scent of a beast. I could feel the vibration of something through the floor. The pounding was getting closer. I followed the hallway to a delicious smelling room. I looked back to see a giant beast staring right at me. I backed up into a corner of the room where the beast slowly came closer. I was trapped. I looked over to my right where I saw a whole in the wall; I darted into the hole barely escaping the beast’s jowls. I was in a dark little space. I trekked through the cave until I saw a dim light. I heard
voices towards the light. It was a family of mice having dinner.
“Hello sir, what brings you here?” said one of the mice.
“It was raining so I had to find some shelter, when I got inside I came across a giant beast who tried to eat me. I escaped into this whole in the wall and here I am.”
“Well I’m glad you’re alright chap, my name is Peter and this is my family, this is my wife Patricia and this is our son Pete.”
“My name is Mouseth.”
“Would you join us for dinner Mouseth? Tonight’s meal is crouton shavings and milk.”
“That sounds amazing, I haven’t eaten all day.”
As we sat there and ate our scrumptious meal, the family told me about their travels and how they came to live here. In this house, there is a whole civilization of mice. The beast I encountered is known as golzor to the mice. Some mice are known as scouts; they stake out on the high cliffs and watch for the beast. Then there are agents, they go right into enemy territory and gather food for the next day. I was assigned the job of the agent. My first gathering would be tonight. All agents met in the main lobby, which was a huge room in the mice city. We were each given a rope. We split up into groups of three. I was grouped together with a mouse of the name of Louse and another of the name of Douse.
We looked out the hole into the wild, the scouts would tell us when the coast was clear and then we would run to the next safe zone. We darted out and ran for shelter. The beast was on our tracks. We each split up; I ducked under the machine that’s supposed to make food. I could feel the breath of the beast right above me. He was searching for me.
His massive claws were almost touching me. Then with a snort, the beast walked off back into the wild. I ran out to regroup with my squad. They had already set up a rope to climb up the side of the wall. We scaled up the side of the wall and out of beast territory. We were on top of a canyon now looking down on where we climbed from. There were all sorts of giant pieces of food up here. I grabbed a sheet of crispy bread and a sheet of cheese. Louse grabbed two big orbs of liquid and Douse filled his bag with sweet crystals. We scaled back down the cliff and into the basin. I could hear the pounding of a beast approaching. This beast was like the first one I saw when I entered the house. It was a towering creature that walked differently from the other creature. We hid on the underside of the cliff while we watched the beast. The beast walked towards a big box, and ripped it open. I watched as the beast grabbed a huge container of milk and poured the ocean of liquid down its throat. The thing then picked up some sort of contraption which turned on and started making a loud whirring noise. We had to make it directly across the room to get to safety. All of a sudden the machine started sucking up stuff around us. It was moving towards us. It was every mouse for himself. The machine jutted out straight for me, I rolled to the side and made a run for it. I wasn’t fast enough because the machine sucked me into it. I wasn’t sure where I was going, this could be the end for me.
It must have been hours since I was sucked into this place. All I could feel around me was floor particles and dust. The machine turned off shortly after I was sucked into it, I wondered if I would ever escape this place.
I woke up to find that the thing I was in was moving. I was being carried, probably by the creature that brought me here. All of a sudden, I started falling; I could breathe fresh air once again! I was now lying in a garbage can. Trekking across pieces of garbage, I finally reached the top and could see out the can. I felt like I had just climbed a mountain. The sky was clear and the sun was shining. I had survived. Wherever life takes me next, I will just have to find out.
