A big fat mother rat has left its three baby rats in a row at the base of my parents' bed, from where I watch it leave the room. When I am sure it has left, I step on each baby rat to kill it.
They are made of shiny black rubber and easily flatten as if hollow.

a small, well-dressed pair of rats amble up to me, safely perched on the living room armchair.
"Can we eat you?" says the male.
"No, because then I'll tell my dad, and he'll kill you."
They glance at each other and shrug, turn, and depart nonchalantly.
Happy Birthday to Lord British himself, @RichardGarriott, who arguably had the largest influence on computer role playing games after Dungeons & Dragons.
Just realized that beta testing my client's pot delivery service means I will be able to, for the first time, write off marijuana. #achievementunlocked
Harry Belafonte was a standard bearer, in the tradition of Robeson, for generational artistry and deeply informed & committed social & political engagement. Maybe the last of a great tribe. As smart as he was knockdown handsome. He met the moment thruout his life. What a man. RIP
