Gross!

Why do dead things have to smell so bad? The other day my living room started to get this off smell. I brushed it off thinking that it was coming from upstairs, because let's face it, they stink. After a couple of days it started getting worse and worse. I began worrying that it was my housekeeping skills. I hadn't been that neglectful to my cute little living room, but I guessed it was possible. Then one night I came home, plopped down on my couch, pulled out my homework, took a breath in and started gagging! The smell was overwhelming and revolting. I tried thinking of what could be causing it, but a smell that awful could only come from something dead. That's when I thought of how we live in the middle of nowhere and how we have this cat who loves to bring field mice inside to chase around the house. Well, that is exactly what I found. A dead, stinky mouse under my couch! Ugh!
