•••THE LIVING RAT•••

The outside world was not as much as she expected. The television usually shows mostly streets with men wearing black suits, and black briefcases in their hands. With no expression the less she can see. The woman with a top round hat with pretty lace and some feather, with various colors of tops and skirts she could say seemingly they are comfortable wearing those. Some of them have fur around their neck, scarves.

Where was she all this time? Why that television doesn't show this type of lifestyle? They mostly some education from heavy mustache men or places without any contexts other than music and nature sounds. Yeah, she sees people, but not this type of people. Yeah, she saw nature but not this less type of nature.

People eyeing her as if she was something odd when it's actually them in her eyes that odd. She would say mostly wears some type of uncomfortable clothes, with spike-type hair, with charcoal under their eyes, and on their lips. While the others hav

    Kaylene POVThe heavy feeling in my head makes it unbearable. She kept twisting her feet as if trying to drill a hole throughout my head. My head throbbed under the pressure of the gravel road, both pointed, both hard surfaces making my skin like a harsh deep pain, as if my head going to explode. I don't think I can't bear it much. People just stared down at the scene, as if this was just a normal day for them to watch. I need help. I didn't notice my eyes closed all this time until I peeled them open to seek help. Their eyes drilled emotionlessly into me, with a tight firm line on their lips. I tried to hold up my hand for help, but the stings on my lips make me aware that I wasn't able to call out for anyone.Please just anyone.The pressure become harder and harder I couldn't believe that it was still intact and not exploding.

    Through the glass window, wiped clean, no dust attached to it. A very clear glass, just like the weather. Clear heat and smoke in the air, the car passing by the streets, people walking down the lining up stores. Busy with their life. There's nothing she can do except stand there, facing the window, watching people sit down and properly eat their breakfast. She was passing by, in the hope of finding a job. She doesn't know how it works but somehow she needs to do something in exchange for food.

    Rain poured like a heavy waterfall, wiping off the smoke from the air, the dust in the streets, the once heat, become so cold, the night was colder, darker. Puddles are everywhere, making the earth wet and cold. The streets weren't just grey, it was beautiful wet grey, a smell she used to enjoy, the pitter patter sounds she used to make a background for a deep sleep, the cold she used to live while she make a hot chocolate, sitting in her beloved balcony, in the rattans swings and a comfy thick blanket over her body as she admired the scene.The leash was never tied around her neck like a beautiful accessory adore her pale neck. The same chain was the key to the locked door, to avoid the beast and nightmare the real life has to offer. The warm smiles, the warm embrace, what are the truths? She promise to sneak out every night, to gain any information, but thanks to that decision, she lost her parents, her home, her warmth, her security, and her happiness.Tight against the wet brick

    It was dark. Khakis stiff body was still in my arm, as I plodded down with him on the ground. Refused to let him lay there alone. And I was humming, the humming I used to do every night before I sleep. I smooth down his fur. I succeeded to make him sleep this time. He is usually the worst when it comes to sleep. He don't want to sleep until he was tired of running around, but, tonight. He sleeps early.My eyes grew heavy as I watched Carla balled up with her kitten in the box.I watched khakis as he suddenly woke up, leaning his head to my ankle, trying to lead me somewhere, we strolled down the alleyway, and more alleyways before we make a sharp turn to the left and walked again and again and turn left again. And there's a forest in front of us, and he led me quietly. Maybe he was not tired yet, and he want to fully wipe off any left energy before he sleep, or he wish to fulfill something before he take a rest that night. However, I can't stop being curious."Where are we going khak

    ````Would it be the last dawn?.°````The pitter-patter on the cabin's roof, the smells of wet ground, the slow and cold breeze, the silence, the ambiance. The world slowly comes to morning, the calming state of early dawn, the calmness that would be addictive after all the storms and wild nights. The way the branches would dance gracefully, the way leaves swayed in the air. The way everything starts a new day, a new dawn, a new morning, a new ambition for some, and another restless day for others.She stares into nothing, recollecting the memories of her sweet little brown fur ball, and khakis. The loudest, the most cheerful among his siblings, the sweetest, the warmest. The white spot on his left thigh always attracted her attention.

    Joshua povThe rumbles of those walls was coming closer. No matter how fast I forced myself to run, the quicker I got was narrowly escape the falling building. That was third time this week. I already lost the ground to run, lost all the place to shelter. Fate never sided with me, that's for sure. My chest was heaving like a horse pounded track, I knew every second I was getting weaker, not a single grain I could find to full my hunger, not even a sip of clear water, nothing more than a polluted rain and some leaves from the last three weeks. It's hard to live in this place, where the water was nothing but a thick pus or some called them purulent. It's thick, hot, that the river or any water sources were looks like a boiling liquid with bubbles come out and popped like a balloon.

    "On the first day?. Really?. You're late on your first day?."The lady in chrysanthemum's colour blouse behind the counter held a look of judgement as she place both her hands on her waist. She didn't even hide the distaste looks in her eyes as she eyeing kaylene up and down in a quick glance. "I am so sorry. Something I can't avoid happened on my way here. I promise it will not happen twice. I really regret my mistake."The lady went quiet, her judging eyes didn't move. Her chin lift up, her chest puffed out, her posture was anything but not in the friendly way. A posture she never get to master, even if her parents whipped her in the morning till the night and kept her hungry for a few day until the next session of practice 'elegance' again.

    The dust in the dry air was something common in the area. The night sky was adorned with white shining pearl, twinkling their light, decorating around the lonely moon. The cold night embracing the world, while the clock ticking away indicating people's life moving, passing the temporary night. The still trees on each side of the road, the cars queue up just beside the road, every creatures was having the rest to the fullest. The birds in their nest, the wild boar in the deep forest probably in their own place to rest. But to some, the night still early, the clicking click was just a thing they should ignore. Their life still needs to be fulfilled where people couldn't see their business because they were busy to have rest after long tiring day to notice these people. Somehow, the road was empty that night. The same road that those buff giant men line up, guarding the place. In the foggy night, a man, completed with dark attire, crossing the road as if the world is belong to him. No o

    The footsteps were silent, there's no heavy footsteps thumping on the ground anymore, but, the smells never left. The hot steam felt near to her left shoulder, as if that creature mocking her by staying in still. Stirring a mess in her head. By the realization of where it was, her tears drops on her cheeks.The low growl somewhere in the greenhouse were heard again, a playful growl, a mocking one. The silent weren't so peaceful like in the daytime. It make her realise time were so slow, make her realise she was vulnerable and helpless. But, the faint growl make her knew she wasn't alone, nor the idea that a presence was there to comfort her, it's playing in her head. A game she refused to play, a game she never submit herself in.The nervous in her chest wasn't a nervous of her parents stares on her when she do something wrong, it's a nervous of knowing the same creatures who hurt her, abuse her, physically and mentally were here, again. The deep guttural sound were made, close to he
