When I looked inside, I saw no sign of life whatever except a extremely fat mouse. My first instinct was to scream. Mice are not my favourite animals, in fact I’m a little bit terrified of them. However, something was missing from my box – a carrot cake with butter icing on top. I broughtContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/11/30/fandangos-story-starter-22/”
