raze
i
heard
a
sound
like
something
being
gnawed
on
and
found
a
peanut
with
a
cracked
shell
in
front
of
the
diminutive
door
growing
out
of
my
bedroom
floor
.
i
turned
the
knob
and
peered
inside
.
no
surprised
squeak
.
no
sound
of
scurrying
feet
.
nothing
but
glass
wool
and
heat
.
in
the
next
few
days
two
more
peanuts
appeared
not
far
from
the
first
.
as
if
some
small
soul
tried
to
carry
them
all
across
the
thin
line
at
the
bottom
of
that
piece
of
wood
painted
white
and
found
the
slender
aperture
unwilling
to
accommodate
their
quarry.
you
might
think
there's
a
mouse
in
this
house
.
i
know
better
.
it's
the
ghost
of
one
furry
friend
or
another
,
and
all
they're
after
is
a
midnight
snack
.
