A Failed Gangster (1)

So this time I'll tell about that day, I went to brag with my fellow mice brothers.

There was this cute fat mouse named Gerry who is constantly getting his ass kicked by that old cat named Tommy.

With him, there are his cousins who looked exactly like him but in different sizes.

Actually, I relate so much with Gerry more than my other mice pals. Like that one time he shared his adventure of taking all the kernels under his chin and he tried taking them all in little bits.

Funny Lil' chump! He takes more than he can carry, but he's just a fat little mouse.

He just wants all that... all that tasty, wonderful treasures! All that food goodies!

Yet he's just a little mouse.

Anyway as I have said, I went to him on that particular day to brag about my story.

'Nobody's heard me speak of them yet hehe. It would be just for today.'

I told them that I am formerly a human before I became like them. But oh boy, I can't forget the look on their faces.

They simply can't believe me! It's as if that stare, they give when they see a human wearing weird clothing.

"Well, they don't do that here."

A human turning to become a mouse? Of course, no one would believe me. But it's true! It really happened!

Here's how I turned into a mouse before I met Jane in our first encounter.

...

Back then, I'm just an ugly lowlife scum with scars and a bald head. I never finished my studies and resorted to a delinquent life or a thug's life.

Now that I recall, I genuinely miss those days that I strike terror among the streets of the City of Ragoria.

One day as I mischievously played pranks against an 8-year old boy. A group of gangsters walked within my turf.

The boy cried out as he runs away from my grip.

'Dang it! I did not manage to take away his lollipop!' That's one of my regrets piling up hehe.

Bafio's District!

An underdeveloped place that is still under the City of Ragoria. My Turf! Here, I'm the sole King! But my days acting almighty ended when I met those group of gangsters.

They are the Bleeding Colt! The Largest Crime Organization in the Underworld.

Yeah, I hate to admit but their influence is really widespread. All the hoods and streets talked about them.

When I observed their activities, I noticed that they were all asking about a shrewd punk like myself named, Jayce De Vera.

That guy is also a great name in the hood. He made a fight club prosperous and took money out of the ticket buyers! He is a living genius when it comes to scamming people. Using people's lives, he made out money from their blood.

Well, I went to his place called the Dungeon once, and yeah it was awesome. Okay fine, I'm GOD DAMN SUPER JEALOUS OF HIS DUNGEON! I FUCKING WANT ONE!

Back at the main road, my curiosity got the best of me. Back then If only I just stayed put, I wouldn't have to suffer so much. I began inspecting why they are looking for Jayce the Tiger.

And one of my findings made me shocked!

Jayce was adopted by that Old Gang Lord as his grandson! Overnight, all power and status belonged to him! He inherited his title as the new Gang Lord of the City of Ragoria!

At that time, I thought to myself,

'What a pleasant surprise and a great twist of fate!'

'How I wish I was that guy!'

Not knowing that my twist of fate would then hit me...

While hiding in the corners of a warehouse, some gangster affiliated with the Bleeding Colt saw me.

Can't forget the murderous glare he gave when he discovered that I was tailing them! Bloodshot like the color of a bright panty I once saw when my neighbor is washing her clothes!

It was RED!

With some laces!

And a crimson dark murky liquid stain, that probably smelled awful!

Alright, probably I just imagined it, but hey! I think I really saw it!

Well, never mind!

Somehow, the vibrant colors of the panty, the blood overlapped with the eyes of that bastard.

He scared the living out of me! 'Damn him!'

I ran away as soon as I saw him approaching me. The pathway is narrow and I don't really know how to climb fast. I know that once I get caught, it would be the end of me.

Gripping my fists, putting all my strength into my legs, I ran away without looking back.

But then,

*BOOOM!!!!*

—A loud explosion assaulted my ears.

Stumbling to the floor, crashing my face jarringly! It was unpleasant. Really embarrassing to see.

When I turned my sight to where the sound came from, the waves of gas and smoldering flames pinched my senses as fragments of rocks disintegrated in the explosion—bursting forth in all directions.

Amidst the raging flames, the debris fell like torrential rain, sealing off the flickering lights of incoming Ragoria's Police cars who quickly responded. And an ambulance also came to the rescue.

Then with my deprived function to hear, I still got to listen to the loud clamoring of people in the distance.

They were all the Gangsters from the Bleeding Colt!

At that time, I can't help but shout,

"Shit! my life is over!"

That was the last word I said before the back of my head, got hit hard by those wretched punks!

I'm not aware why they bombed something near that warehouse.

'Perhaps it was related to Jayce?'

Nevertheless, my vision got blurry and slowly I found myself weakening...

Until I collapsed, at this time I became unconscious.

Little did I know, I'll be in a much deeper shit the next time I wake up...
