THE CREATURE THAT YOU CAME TO SEE
Jen
A day on Rubi-Ka
Omni-1 North sewers
It’s cold in tha sewers.
Nothing ta eat. Rats eat all tha stuff and they get aggro on me when I try ta take food from trashcans.
Bad, nasty rats.
I’m hungry.
I wonder if this sharp, metallic thing can make them go?
The little girl in dirty rags looks angrily at the rats around her, as she’s trying to figure out how to use the rusty knife she has just found to make them run away. She has spotted something in the open trashcan, someting that very well looks like food, and if this food is still edible, then she’ll take it. There’s so little food these days. And Mommy is always, always crying when she comes back home.
Stab.
Stab, stab, stab.
Heh. Knife makes funny noise.
A wild grin appears on her emaciated face, as she violently hits a rat on the side with the sharp edge of her blade. With a squiek, the rat backs up, trying to bite her, but she’s used to it, and now that she has something close to a weapon, the fight will go on much differently. Another shrieking sound. A big male, this time. Blood drippling from the blade, down on the ground, down from her fingers.
Bad, bad rats! Ya always bite me and make me bleed!
Ha ha, how funny!
Now I can make ya bleed too.
Mommy’ll be happy when I bring food. Mebbe she won’t hit me this time.
In a wary motion, Jen quickly begins to search the trashcan, putting the more food she can in her pockets before the rats come back.
