A Rat and a Cat

No - This is no poem. Ahem..

Wednesday, was the day.. I felt fear. Not just any fear. Fear that made me hit a closed door twice in a go, and then slip on the floor after that. Fear that has made me so paranoid that I keep looking over my shoulder, and when anything slightly creaks, or moves out of the place, I shriek. Yes my fellow readers.. I have lost it. And the reason is..
Wait for it..
.. Wait for it..

A RAT!!! OMGOQMGOQMGOEOMG OM OMOMGOMGwrhOMGOGM!1213!LCo1!£$"!Jahfih1

Ahem.

It was AS BIG AS MY HOUSE!!! OMG! Okay I lie, it was tiny, but it's amazing how something that tiny can scare the living soul out of you! But then again, it wasn't tiny, it was big, furry, and had eyes that looked at me, and was standing on its legs being all mouse-y with it's mouth.. and.. dear lord, I can still feel the goosebumps.

After we found this creature, me and my mum decided to lock all doors in the kitchen. Completely. Cookie was at the garden door, and mum saw a chance of survival! She called him inside, and he had no idea there was a mouse around. He was completely oblivious. My mum couldn't hold back any longer and so she went into the kitchen, took cookie, went back into the garden through the other door, and then put cookie infront of the mouse, shut all doors, and ran back in as fast as she could. Oh, and did I mention, how I almost fainted?

After Cookie finally saw the mouse, I couldn't stay around to watch what happened. I was watching everything hanging off the stairs, from a closed door. Tsk. Mum was all ready to go out, so she literally ran out of the house and whilst I attempted to stop her she said, "It's okay beta.. You're strong! I have to go, stop being silly".. And before I could hear the ends of that sentence, the front door had shut and if I had known better, I'd say my mum ran, like she never ran before. Tsk.

As soon as she left, I came into my room upstairs, shut the door tight, covered all open corners with a towel.. And sat on the chair, shivering, with my legs up on the chair! I chatted to as many people I could, and told them all about the mouse. I told Ayisha (my neice - who is in Sharjah), to come save me. I called her, and screamed on the phone, and asked her to save me. She said, "masi!! Why don't you call someone in LONDON! Who can be there NOW, and not in 10 hours." Ahem. Good point, I thought to myself.. but proceeded to scream on the phone.

My sister called the house phone minutes after. The phone is in the other room, which meant I had to leave the comfort and safety of my little mouse-free bubble. I was so extremely scared, I ran into the closed door.. Not once, but Twice in a go. I fell down, and hung off the door knob, after which I got up and pushed the door open and slipped on the floor whilst catching the phone and answering it. Oh the ordeal. I became increasingly paranoid with every small creak, with every little movement of my own body even. My leg touched my other leg for a slight second and I literally shrieked out of my own skin. And whilst I talked with my sister, she obviously was convinced that I had lost it.. Completely. I suddenly screamed on the phone because apparently to me - there was something moving that was grey on the curtains behind me. I turn around, and what do I find? A piece of hair hanging from it.. Tsk Tsk.

After that I sat in my room, and sat there.. And sat there. My mum came home later, and screamed "COOKIE GOT THE MOUSE!".. With such pride in her voice, and relief. I obviously began to breathe, and calmed my poor heart down.. I was so proud of cookie. He saved me. He was my hero. He was so brave.. I still didn't leave my room, by the way. And continued to stay there for the rest of the night!

.. That, my fellow readers.. Is my newest phobia - RATS. MICE. *Shudder, faint*.

I am just so entertaining.. I know.

Also - I refuse to forgive Pujy, who btw - scared me so much, and said things like "rats reproduce so quickly, so there has to be more.." and the whole house-rat infestation thing. Tsk. I haven't been able to go into the kitchen without running right back like a wally, since.

.. I need so much help. =D
