Title: Mighty Mouse
Source: Flash Fiction Challenge
Prompt: Write a story about a mouse.
Word count: 99 words
I stumble to my desk. The coffee sloshing in my cup slips over the edge trickles down the side and drips onto my freshly printed manuscript.
I blot the drop, but the damage is done. Adding insult to injury I mark the draft with a giant coffee ring. I have no fear. Mighty Mouse will save the day. The laptop purrs, Mighty Mouse chases clicks across the laptop’s screen while I sip my coffee.
The printer springs to life, spitting out pages as the Mouse commands.
The pristine draft restored, it awaits the torture session of the red pen.

LOL My little mouse saves the day a lot. But then so does coffee. I can’t do without either of them. 💕 🐭☕💕

Brilliant, Jo! Rescued only for a future in the editorial dungeon. Or maybe gymnasium.

Sounds like that manuscript is a bit of a masochist! (Or sadist? I get them mixed up.)
