As Small as a Mouse - Part Two [Story]

This is a companion piece to Tservo98's story: As Small as a Mouse on Deviantart. It stands on its own so feel free to read either one first!

I've decided to post my longer works as text stories instead of captions from now on. I'll still be making captions, just not when it's more than a few paragraphs. Open the post to see the full story.

As Small as a Mouse

“God damnit,” I muttered as I dropped my brush on the floor, clumsily kicking it under the bottom of my bathroom countertop as I tried to catch it with my foot; all those years of soccer practice didn’t seem to help my coordination when it counted. I grunted and got down on hands and knees to fish it out when I came face to face with a little brown mouse. “Eeeekk!” I yelped like a little girl, banging the back of my head against the countertop. The rodent ran off through the door, “The landlord said he’d already gotten rid of these fucking pests. As if my life couldn’t get any worse.” I was still pissed off that the only thing my philosophy degree had amounted to was continuing the waitress gig I’d started to get said degree. I felt like I was going nowhere.
