Robert and Rebecca arrived home to find a dead mouse on their kitchen floor.
It was an old building, so Rebecca was not surprised there would be rodents. Rather than being grossed out, she began reflecting on her own mortality, wondering if she were better or worse off than the mouse for having knowledge of her impending oblivion. It was a thought that often kept her up late into the night, as she listened to Robert’s light snoring and choked back tears.
Robert could only think about the mess that must have attracted the mouse, and began a thorough cleaning.
