"Changing the Past"


Jack stopped and stared. Jaw dropping to the table. There in front of him was the largest piece of cheese he had every seen. After pinching himself to see if he was in Mouse heaven, he realized that it must be real. He scurried toward the cheese stopping to look around him to make sure he wasn't being followed. After seeing the coast was clear, he dove onto the side and climbed this massive wheel of cheese. At the top of the wheel he was met face to face by a large hungry looking cat who immediately gave chase. Darting to and fro the cat was only a step behind. As Jack approached the window, a swat in the back side sent him flying through the window into a shrub and knocked him out cold.
