The Thousand-Foot Mouse

This is a story I wrote when I was a kid. Spelling and grammar have been left intact for posterity.

Nightmare

Once I told a ghost story. This was what it was. Their was this kid who was good at telling ghost stories. Once he told a ghost story so scary that it came true. There was a giant mouse and he wanted to get bigger! So he started to eat a lot of people and bugs. When he got bigger, he was about 1000 feet long! (Thats big for a mouse)! He started to attack other houses and buildings and lots of stores and stuff. They called the army, the navy, the mareins, and the US airforce base, but they could not kill it! But one time they took a m-x missle and hit the mouse. it got hurt rellaey bad then it fell down dead. The end.

Note the story-within-a-story-within-a-story structure. Pretty sophisticated for elementary school. I had probably forgotten the two framing stories by the time the mouse fell down dead.
