Ooh. Yay for random inspiration! :D

I like the way you've chosen your words and used metaphors. "Like the string of a bow before an arrow is released" - that line is really cool. And I love the ending, just the word, contact.

It's lovely. :) Nice job!

Woooooooooooow! Red, you're a poet too? Excellent! Keep it up! So, I'm guessing mousie had a not-so-happy ending... :D
