Performing My Daddily Duty

‘I’m so forlorn!’
Ah… the cries of distress from a precocious five-year-old. The cause, you ask? The aforementioned child had taken her gerbil, Mustachio, from its cage and it had managed to escape to parts unknown, somewhere in the house.
And now, I, Dad, also to be known as the Momentary Hero, must needs track down the escapee, trace its movements, and really just make sure it doesn’t die somewhere very inconvenient, like inside a wall.
Armed with flashlights, lamps, candles — anything, really, that can cast light — I’m off to perform my Daddily duty.
Wish me luck.
