There was a Russian proverb that went like this—
‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap.’
Thinking back on it now, everything that happened that day was because of someone’s mousetrap.
I got fired from my job of 7 years, the weather was f*cking hot, and on top of it all, I lived in a poor neighborhood that had to be reached by walking up two roads…
As I tried to catch my breath, that was when it came into my eyes.
Underneath a street lamp, there was a weathered game capsule.
And after that? Well, it’s obvious.
After one morning as an unemployed person, I became a hungry rat. I wasn’t able to take my eyes away from the free cheese.
If someone were to see me, struggling to carry the capsule, wouldn’t they have clapped their hands and laughed?
And would have said something like! That stupid fool got caught in a trap.
