    About this ebook

    What risks will you take for the perfect bounty?

    Mice have no business jumping in parachutes, you say? 
    I couldn't agree more.
    And yet, here I am, about to throw myself into the void with nothing but a piece of cloth tied to my back.
    But at the other end, if we succeed on this suicidal mission? The mythical Christmas cheese platter with its deliciously creamy Morbier.
    Join the adventure as our hero faces his fears in his quest to put his paws on the perfect Christmas dinner.

    R.W. Wallace

    R.W. Wallace writes in most genres, though she tends to end up in mystery more often than not. Dead bodies keep popping up all over the place whenever she sits down in front of her keyboard. The stories mostly take place in Norway or France; the country she was born in and the one that has been her home for two decades. Don't ask her why she writes in English - she won't have a sensible answer for you. Her Ghost Detective short story series appears in Pulphouse Magazine, starting in issue #9. You can find all her books, long and short, on rwwallace.com.

      Morbier Impossible

      I hadn’t really thought I was afraid of heights before this moment. The kitchen table never fazed me, the kitchen counter was easy play, and the top cupboards were easy peasy so long as I stayed away from the edge.

      But here I am, in the rafters above the living room, my tail shaking from fear and my paws clutching nervously into the lines in the wood as Lana is explaining for the hundredth time how to work the parachute.

      Yes, parachute. On a mouse.

      Years ago, Bibi, one of our forefathers—I forget how many generations, I’ve never been good with numbers—came across a picture in the living room, one of a human falling slowly from the sky and landing safely on the ground. The man wore a helmet and goggles and a backpack for the parachute and was welcomed by his friends with open arms.

      Bibi swore he would make the same thing for mice and that it would change their lives drastically.

      It certainly changed his life; he died when he tested the first prototype.

      But before moving into the afterlife of infinite cheese,
