This is awful first off Jerry was the last family member that I was close with, the rest of them died you see my family has had some bad luck. The deaths that haunt my mind aren’t my mother’s death or my sisters’ death because they were the high tech mouse trap the “humane” ones that kill you instantly. The ones that stay in my mind are the large family massacres. Most of my family was killed late 1800s by the Great Mouse Trap, the Disney movie Fievel Goes West was a kid friendly version but the truth is the cats did win. The cats killed everyone in the town which includes my closest relatives. Many of whom didn’t die right away they had their legs broken and struggled in pain, screaming for help but the only people that came were the cats and if they got away they were just found by vultures. In the 1960s the Amazing Cat and Mouse Games had an awful twist where my brother and Uncle, jerry’s father became a part of it accidently. See for the games I don’t know if you have heard we use criminal or war prisoner mice to be sacrificed in the games. We sit in the Mice’s Coliseum, the Romans’ found our first one and built theirs based off ours, we have been killing criminals and war prisoners centuries before the Romans ever had the idea. Most of my family, Grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, got back stage passes and because that place is run by the rats they can’t tell the difference between a good mouse and a bad one, so they made my family part of the show that day. The only reason Jerry and I didn’t get tickets, was because my mom didn’t want me to get to know any mice that was about to die. So we watched with my mother and sisters from the front row watching my family getting ripped apart by huge cats was just terrible, the irony is that we didn’t go back stage because my mother didn’t want us to know anyone who would die that day, who would have thought we would already know people who are going to get slaughtered. It reminded me of what used to be my favorite novel The Castle of Llyr where Taran fights the great cat except again my family loses. My uncle Basil, you know the Great Mouse Detective, went on a case in 1995 looking for a killer in London and never returned, it left me only with Jerry as my only surviving family member and now he is gone. Muscles is what they call me but I feel weaker than ever now.
