I used to live in an apartment building that had mice, and my housemate and I would catch them in live traps and release them way out in the woods. We always worried this sort of thing would happen, so this cuts deep. I mean, not enough that I didn't laugh, but still.

Nature is efficient

It's like a live-action Simpsons gag

the empty bottle was a nice touch

Are you gonna eat that? Do you mind if I do?

There is no way that could have worked out any better.

There was a reason the mouse was chilling out in your bed and not living in the woods, mainly it never thought you'd do this to it.

It believed in you.

It wasn't meant to be. If he had kept the mouse, it would have died by electrocution, overeating his pellets, or possibly having its tail chopped off by a midwife.

I was looking for the moose. Damn my tired eyes.
