It was a dark and misty night. The clouds were heavy, sinking lower into the valley. The moonlight was struggling to break through. It was quiet. Too quiet. A bat's squeak echoed off the rocks: "eiiiiiiiiiih".
Suddenly, the sound of small feet screeching the ground with their sharp claws broke the silence. Not one. Not two. Thousands of them. Rats. Huge, dirty, foul-smelling rats. Thousands of them. Running out of the sewages. Clambering over anything that stood in their way. Even each other. Scrambling and sinking their teeth into any and every bit of flesh they could find. Even each other.
Within minutes they were gone, leaving nothing but destruction behind them. Blood staining the roads. Then the rain came down. Hard. Washing the streets. Then it stopped. Silence reigned once more.
It is Halloween night, but no kids are allowed out. No trick & treating tonight.
PS 890km down. 110km to go.
