Mercy Killing

Been watching her since long in my house, A single, as I never saw with her a spouse, I didn't know whether male or female, and why I didn't call her as a male, because she was naughty in my waken nights, hidden somewhere in the bright day lights, too much she was hated by my only wife, once she attacked with a deadly knife, the splinter escaped from the jealous sight, she was so smart with eyes too bright, afraid of a woman towards me she ran, to a tested and trusted harmless man, years passed, today, saw her in a day, restless in pain, in her eyes a dismay, perhaps someone gave a poisonous bread, felt pain of one so helpless on death bed, I took a hammer and hit on her head, and the shrew-mouse was instantly dead!
