4,267 Hours

I knew
the trap would fail.

Leg pinned,
probably broken,
for hours
before i shuddered,

found you;
barely breathing, you'd dragged the trap.

Not dead.
I killed another mouse when I was seven with

a rock.
Now, twenty years later, 

again.


Assuming an average worldwide human life expectancy of 67.2 years (source) and an average mouse life expectancy of about 2 years (source), one human hour could be considered about 33.6 mouse hours.
