Inktober Day 12 – Shredded

With Charlie no longer making such a racket against the box, Colfax could focus more on the sound of tearing paper as he split a sheet into thinner and thinner strips. He paused when he was finished with part of a page, before setting the crumpled paper ribbons next to the mouse. He’d heard that mice could use all sorts of things to make little forts for themselves. “You may use those,” he said, “but only so long as you don’t make your nest here.”

Charlie’s face lit up as the thin shreds of paper were set next to him. “Thank you!” he said, really meaning it, and gathered up as much of the tangled, torn paper as he could.
