Mice
I've found that (among those who vote), my stories with mice in them are among the least popular. Maybe if there were a story code for mice (or vermin), readers with aversions to rodents could steer clear-not that story codes seem to have that kind of effect. I think most of my rodent stories are cute. Not that in real life I especially like mice. A few years ago some of them nested in the air filter compartment of my car, and rather than pay a lot to get them cleaned out, I traded the car in. I also set a bunch of traps in the garage and caught seven mice. Poor little things. They are cute! A friend suggested mothballs instead of traps. I tried that. I'm not sure if it worked, but I didn't like the smell of mothballs in the garage, so I'm just hoping that the automakers have designed mouse inaccessible air filter compartments.
Anyway, I've posted another mouse story today. "When the Cat's Away."
