"Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal"

1505.07.13

I want a hole mouse! They come in lilac. They're rare around here, though, and it's not lawful to keep or transport them because they are considered pests. They've spread pretty far from their native range, and people are trying to control them. So I can only have a hole mouse if I move to a city where they're already well established. I still want one!

I borrowed a book from the library to help with my essay. It had lots of articles on animals from different regions. The hole mouse is just my favorite. The chapter on diseases was pretty scary, though. You never know what might be lurking in some forgotten corner of the world.
