Mouse-Trap

The mouse sat innocently upon the desktop.
There was toast with peanut butter, left there by the human who’d been working at her computer. The mouse just wanted a little nibble. There’d be no harm done, would there? After all, he came every night to clean up after the human went to bed.
The computer, still on, glowed warningly at the mouse, whirring a little.
A small zap crackled in the air.
The mouse was gone.
In its place, stood another mouse. And it was NOT innocent. In the carnage that followed, the computer died.
