I SHOULD HAVE STOPPED HER WHEN I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

Hey everyone! @mannyz here. I happen to be participating in today's freewrite by @mariannewest and the today's prompt is mice. If you wish to know what freewrite is about, click here

It was almost eleven pm yesternight, I was lying on my bed and was about dozing off when I started hearing sounds. I knew the mice that 'recide' in my apartment had resumed what they were good at- disturbance. The noise was so unbearable that it couldn't let me sleep.

I decided to leave the house for them and left for my neighbour's. I spent the night in her apartment for the 'fear' of these mice.
I woke up at 6:10 the next morning and decided to thank her for the shelter and to tell her I was already leaving for my flat, that was when I got the shock of my life.

I've been lying with a dead person. I was utterly speechless. Had she suffocated or what?
So many thoughts were running on my mind. I didn't know what exactly was happening.
But then I remembered something. Earlier that day she was asking me what the fate of those who committed suicide was. We weren't serious with that discussion as we were passing time that evening.

The case I had with the police thereafter wasn't something to write home about, and it's story for another day.
