Mousetraps

For mature teens, ages 13 and older

I headed over to my locker, spun the combination, lifted the handle, and –

THWACK!

It was a snapped mousetrap. The old-fashioned wooden kind. A folded piece of paper lay in its grip. I reached in, lifted the trap's spring, and pulled the paper loose. My heart punched at my ribs like it was trying to get out.

I unfolded the paper. It was the picture I'd drawn of Rick.
