Friday Fictioneers – Write a 100-word story based on the Photo Prompt image above by © Na’ama Yehuda
Moving House
I was happily enjoying a cube of cheese when suddenly, I was exposed. A finger of light, followed by the whole fist, as shards of sunlight beamed into my corner. Inch by inch, then by the metre, the fridge which I was hiding behind, moved with a scraping sound as it was nudged onto a trolley and removed from the kitchen.
“What’s going on?” I ran at speed to hide behind the dishwasher.
As it happened, the owner was upsizing from our cosy apartment to a big house with some land. Sounds perfect for a little grey mouse!
Thanks for reading
Cute. I like the effect of the beam of light growing larger to expose the mouse hiding behind the fridge. I hope he can safely stow away on the removal van.

Thanks, Margaret. The mouse, Felix, made his debut in a short story I wrote for our local paper in 2018. He will find a way to get in the removal van. He is a mouse of many talents 😉
