Very Small

[poliphilo]

Marlowe was chasing something round the house yesterday- something that scurried round the walls, hiding behind or under large pieces of furniture while he dabbed ineffectively at the place where he'd seen it last. I found it this morning- a very small shrew. It had died in plain sight- on the carpet in the living room- of exhaustion or hunger or fear.

Poor little thing.

Marlowe captures them, brings them indoors and then plays hide and seek with them. I wish he wouldn't.
