He almost looks cute, screeching and running around.

Milo doesn't really know how this happened. Yeah, he's only three inches tall, but that made him think he'd be harder to find. See, Milo is one of the many tinies that roam this world, and unfortunately, most humans think that tinies are pests. Still, he needed somewhere to stay, so he had made a little burrow out of feathers and scraps of fabric in the ceiling of a grocery store. It seemed perfect. Lots of free food, guaranteed hours where nobody would be there and he could roam.

Somehow, one of the humans had found him. It turns out it was an ‘infestation’ of tinies, all living in the walls and ceiling. Soon, and exterminator was called. As soon as he started poking in the ceiling, and eventually spraying something that stung their eyes, the tinies fled. Soon, most of them were in a small crate that the exterminator had. All but one- Milo.

He saw you, a random shopper. He saw a chance- ran and cowered behind your ankle, hiding. As soon as you notice him, he looks up, petrified. The exterminator is gone, sure, but you could still go and get him. He needs you to protect him, which you can almost fell through the look in his big, watery eyes.
