I rose with the sun as day light hit my eyes, but this morning was like no other. I felt a cool breeze coming from the open window. Rolling out of my covers I braced my body for the refreshing wind. As it reached my warm skin I felt an almighty force throw me back. With arms flailing I attempted to crawl for help, my voice came out sweet and soft just like a mouse. I peered over the edge of the bed and realised I was sitting as what seemed to be a cliff. Oh know what am I ment to do I am as small as a mouse. As I was peering over my bed when a puff of wind had blown me of my bed. I landed on the ground as softly as I could, I crawled over to the mirror in shock I screamed as loud as I could saying I AM A MOUSE but no one could hear me. I thought in my mind how in the world have I turned into a small mouse, I smelt something rotten it smelt like rotting chesse it was me.
As I walked outside the door there was a humongous dog standing their puffing, I ran as fast as I cold until I saw the light glaring at a drain I ran to the drain and I jumped in. The dog was still their trying to get in I heard another voice calling out where am I. So I started running until I got closer to the noise I saw another mouse well he was my height and looked the same. I went over to him and said hey I don’t know what happened to me but I have turned into some weird creature like you, when he heard that he came running as fast as lighting saying WHAT DID YOU SAY I WAS?? I just said that you are a weird creature, because well you got to big hairy ears on the side of you head a tale as longs as a snake and a body as fat as a garbage bin. Well you don’t look any better you have the same as me every part except for the bit about the size of a garbage bin. Ok well nice meeting you but I have to head off now cya!! As I walked back to the top of the drain where the light was glaring in the dog was still huffing and puffing. I screamed and that evil dog ran away. Know I have a chance to get out so as I got out I ran home as fast as I could as I stepped on this puddle I suddenly become as big as I was before. I don’t know how or why but at least I was big again I went inside and went up to my bed and fell asleep again. When I heard that puff of that dog.
