That's A Number

'To each their own,' was the only thing I could think to say to my mouse as the cage slammed shut behind me. 'But I wouldn't want to eat those men. It might give us indigestion.'

 

'Ah, but they lived in the world as shit; they might as well leave the same way,' continued my mouse, almost detached.

"I haven't showered in a bit," was my reply as I tried to push myself into a seated position. "Sorry about that."

 

"No," disagreed the voice. "You smell… not wolf."
