Big Sur Chapter 8

By Jack Kerouac

Chapter 8

Jack takes pleasure in the various animals that come with Monsanto's cabin.
He even puts out a nightly plate of cheese and chocolate for the resident mouse (proclaiming his "days of killing mice are over").
He takes a moment to catalogue the items in the cabin and out, from the smallest bugs to the largest mountain.
Jack is so relaxed, he again asks how he could possibly go insane within three weeks. But then he adds: "there are signposts of something wrong."
