    paper The Little Mouse

    Once upon a time, there was a little mouse who worked relentlessly to achieve a single goal: becoming somebody. Driven only by her ambition, she slowly became mean and arrogant, pushing away everyone else. Until one day, she accepted a job offer from the most prolific toymaker in the world: Santa Claus. The little mouse was about to find out that climbing the corporate ladder was not all that she hoped it would be… The sad story of the little mouse who wanted to become somebody is a biting satire of corporate life in the form of a VR Christmas tale.
