The world is cruel.

So... I could try to make this post sarcastic and funny like our other posts.

But some things aren't funny, and you can't make them funny. Even if I exaggerate and be borderline sarcastic, the bottom line isn't really funny.

By now you probably know there's bad news. You're probably guessing that something happened to the mice. Like they were in Marie's basement or garage or whatever, and one day, they weren't where they belonged, and they ran away, and haven't been found, and they couldn't live this long out there, and we'll probably never see them again.

Yeah.

We had so many great dreams. We were going to make videos and be all scientific and have a project binder and get extra credit in our biology classes. And the mice were going to have a good life and get peanut butter and the end of the maze with our special jar contraption. And we were going to write up status reports and take pictures and it was going to be so cool.

But then? Our dreams died with the mice.

It may not seem like much of a deal. I mean, it's only mice. We can get new mice. We can still take pictures and write reports. The maze is still there.

Sigh... those poor mice. They were destined for so much, but none of it came to be. One never even had a name. Someday they'll be completely forgotten.

It's sad, really, how all these plans could be destroyed so easily.

Project Mouse Maze is discontinued, for now at least. We'll post updates if we start it up again. Thanks everyone.
