Tags: funny, story, animal cruelty, killingI stabbed a mouse to death once. I must be appearing sadistic, eh? I had a major duel with this mouse. I call it a dragon mouse. It was an epic battle! Well, this mouse invaded my house one day, and I didn’t really care till it started running around my room. One day it tried to get into my chocolate stash, and that was it. I heard rummaging through my trash can (where my chocolate wrappers are). I tried grabbing him bare handed, but he was too quick. He had those beady black eyes too. What I did was trap him in my trash can one day. I took the trash can and dumped it into the sewer, and I was so happy I got rid of him. But no, a few days later he was back! He started taunting me too. So, I got a mouse trap and put chocolate on it. I heard it spring one day, but of course he got away. I reset the trap again and waited. Sure enough, it caught him the next day.

The thing was, he wasn’t dead. So, I grabbed my knife and started stabbing him to death. I got blood everywhere, and killed the little fucker! Then I pretended he was a puppet, and made him talk. It was a grand day of victory, and I felt triumphant defeating him! I had to clean my floor and knife of the blood. It was a test of wills, and just remember… I won! I celebrate every victory, it’s part of my philosophy. He remembered the chocolate, you can’t take my chocolate though. What is ironic is that at one point I thought he was kinda cute. But, it was like he was intruding instead of being a guest. I’ve never had a pet actually, did I tell you he had black beady eyes? I looked into his eyes once, and it was really like he was taunting me. I can only imagine what it was like back in the Middle Ages, killing a guy with a sword.

Mouse Postscript

I even had a dream about that mouse last night. In the dream he was in my room and bit my foot. At this point I realized I was dreaming (it seemed my mind just couldn’t fathom a mouse running up to me and biting me), so I grabbed the mouse and bit his head off.

I receive various emails, Myspace messages, and comments on the site… as well as unrelated stories of bipolarities. Some are interesting, and some are just plain crazy.

Identities will be kept confidential unless the author wants credit for their work. If you have something to express, I encourage you to reach out. I enjoy the interaction, and the perceptions of others. Let me present the first e-mail I received, that made me want to post from the readers!

hey man, thanks for telling me what you’ve been through…i know that we’ve barely been talkin for a minute, but i got some bad news, and i sort of need to talk to someone about it…

yesterday i got arrested for shoplifting at a grocery store. It wasn’t the first time i had done it, actually i had done it over and over and over again at the same store, and no one ever stopped me or the security thing never went off, so i thought i was getting away with it. Its been going on for a while now, i must have taken at least $200 worth of stuff. I did it for the rush I felt cuz i thought i was getting away with it. Yesterday I PAID FOR the main shit, but still popped a few things in my purse b/c i had to have that high. Well, i was walking to my car when the manager stopped me and wanted to see my purse. Then i went up to the office and called my mom and sister (who’s a lawyer, by the way) and they told me they had me on camera and had taken pics of me. but they never knew my name and only certain people in the store can stop shoplifters. So then i get taken away in a cop car to the detention center, and they said that they’re gonna press charges cuz i’ve been doing it over and over again, but they’re only gonna charge me for the stuff i took yesterday, which was only about $10.00. So then i get in the cop car and get taken to the sheriff’s dept b4 the jail so that my sister can bring my my meds. (i told the manager i was bipolar) then i get taken to the detention center and luckily i got the last bond hearing of the night. Then i wait in a cell until my sister comes get me. It was a fuckin nightmare, and the only good thing is that they said that they wouldn’t tell my employer (i work at a daycare and go to school, but the daycare is really close to the store, thats why id always go in after work)

I don’t want to use the bipolar as an excuse, i knew what i was doing, i knew it was bad, its just that i had gotten away with it so many times that i thought i was invincible. Now i gotta go to court and hopefully it can be taken off of my record. But the worst part is that my brother in law is running for police chief in my town and all the cops know who both he AND my sister are. I have basically ruined their reputations. He’s out of town, but she told him was was going on. Its not so much what happens to me, its what i did to them, and my mom.

I’m gonna go find a psychiatrist to talk to, and try to find a church to go to, b/c i haven’t had any sort of religious guidance in my life. I’m a fucking mess right now, and if my sister hadn’t brought my medicine to me, i may have gone into a manic episode. Anyways, thats not the only bad thing i do. I have a really big porno collection, and when a friend told me about pornotube, i started watching it online. I’ve just been living this double life where i was getting away with shit, and now its all coming back to me.

I’m just lucky to be sitting here at school as if nothing has happened and not sitting in jail waiting for a bond hearing. This is my first run in with the law, and i knew it was going to catch up wit me sooner or later. anyways, thanks for letting me vent. bye.

My Reflection:

Often in our lives, we have pent up emotion and need to vent. This letter is from deep within the soul, and my heart goes out to her. Often times, I do bad things even though I know it is wrong. The thrill is the motivation, and the rush is addicting. Four years ago, I was dating a girl who confided in me about how she had a similar shoplifting addiction. She and her friend would both go to expensive department stores and steal. They had money, but they just did it as a rush. The items they stole weren’t needed or even worth anything, but the adrenaline was irresistible. I fear this woman suffers from the same compulsion. This is a great example of how your actions can catch up with you in the end.
