October 8 - Mouse

"Call me by my name and I will answer with my soul."

~ African proverb

You have limited options with a mouse in the house.

It is a rodent. It is vermin.  You know what to do - you just have to decide how humanely you want to do it.

Having made the ultimate decision, you name him "Chewbacca" and for the next few days you cheer as it runs just out of sight.

This false hope you give him - this is a joy that he carries in his heart as the shock of the spring trap fatally slams against his spine.  Blissfully happy.  Peaceful.

SNAP!

This mouse is a balloon shown by Marina Filatova with her double-stuffed technique.  I made the body a little too tall, squatter would be cuter.  This is not a technique that allows for easy adjustment once you commit.
