the picture in my head

Here's the picture I can't get out of my head: mice.  many mice.  climbing all over my desk.  scampering . crawling.  teeming.  getting into the pretty glass container left on my desk.
Here's why I picture this: I left a pretty glass container on my desk, filled with tootsie rolls and Hershey kisses.  When I walked onto my classroom today the dish was empty, save the mouse poop.  No candy.  No wrappers.  Only poop.  I looked around for evidence of the candy that used to be in the dish...and found one ~one~ silver wrapper in the corner of the counter.  (surrounded by poop)  All day I opened my desk carefully, afraid that I'd discover the secret home of this hoard of rodents...hyped up on sugar.
I've got one word:  UGH
