Mice in the kitchen: Hidden worries Multiplying in daily Life

"I noticed the first mouse in the kitchen. It ran across the floor and disappeared behind the refrigerator before I could do anything. I wasn't really scared yet, just annoyed because I knew there had to be more. When I opened the cabinet, there were three of them sitting around a cereal box. They all looked at me for a second, then squeezed through a crack that I'm pretty sure wasn't there before. I tried blocking it with a towel, but the towel kept sliding into the wall. After that I started hearing scratching everywhere. Behind the walls, under the floor, even inside the couch. My cousin was sitting beside me watching television and acted like she couldn't hear it. I asked if she thought we should leave, and she said we were already outside. Suddenly I was in a grocery store, pushing a cart full of things I didn't remember picking up. Mice kept appearing in the cart, hiding under the bread and running over the cans. I tried to tell an employee, but when I looked down, the cart was empty. Then one mouse climbed onto my shoe. It didn't run away. It just sat there, staring up at me, and I woke up with the feeling that something had been moving around under my bed."
