A new housemate
Last night around 3.20 am I was woken by a strange rustling sound. I thought it was coming from either my bin or the wall behind my bin, so I carefully got up and went over to have a closer look.
It was definitely coming from my bin, a small wastepaper basket. I nudged the side of it tentatively, and a small black mouse jumped out and scurried off into a corner.
I would like it noted that I am sufficiently manly to have only yelped ‘Aaah!’ for about half a second before remembering my manliness.
My mission for this evening is to pick up some sort of humane trap in town, in the hope of catching the mouse and setting it free in a park somewhere… where hopefully an owl will eat it.

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
