Chapter 1: The Pet Store. There once was a tiny mouse who lived in a cruel Pet Store. His name was Jam. He was the runt of the litter, and his brother, sisters, and cage-mates made fun of his size. "Even a fly could squish you!" His sisters taughnted, his brother usually talked of cats. "Maybe, one day a hungry cat will come and eat you. And we wouldnt even miss you at all." His brother Maple always taughnted him. His mom, dad, and other brothers were fed to a snake. Wich Jam still has nightmares about. Many days later, with the taughnting and laughing, a boy with a Boa Constrictor on his shoulders. "Bo is hungry, and these little mice in the cage I will take." The boy said with a hint of a sneer in his voice, as he and Bo looked at Jam. "Well, you cant take them today, its near closing time, kid." Keep said calmly. As the boy walked up to the mice cage, Bo looked at Jam right in the eyes, with his cold red eyes. Jam stumbled and tripped backwards into the shavings of his cage. "Yummmmmmmmmmmmm, tassssssssssttyyyyy littleee miccceee." The snake hissed, slithering around the boys shoulders, as he and Keep were aruguing... After, the boy and Bo left, it was closing time. Keep made sure every animals cage was locked and they if they were fed. Keep whistled out of the Pet Store, and Jam winced as the door closed with a SLAM!. The next day, the boy and Bo came back. And this time, he was with Bo, and Keep was heading towards the mice cage, and he opened the door. Jam, his sisters, brother, and cage-mates ran out, as fast as their little legs could carry them, ran onto Keeps arm, and they all jumped off of his arm, and the door was still opened, but is was slowly closing.... To be contuined :)
