Moths and Rats and Government Experiments

…at least until the light bulb burned out.

Damnit, I knew I should have replaced those batteries.

Now the moths were galloping after him again. The government’s stupid plan to put common pests to work for the country backfired. Again. Just like the gnats in Utah, the spiders that raged on the houses in New Mexico, or even the British government’s attempt at forcing the sea herself to do their bidding. Now half of Europe is underwater, kept there by an ocean with a temper.

It’s all stupid. You can’t harness power from anything anymore. Everything in the world already hates the humans, and we gave them the tools to fight back. Half-wits!

So, running from the latest moronic experiment, I dive into a hole in the ground.

Turns out this is no ordinary hole. It’s a colony of rats.

Six-foot-long super-strength rats.

Skin thicker than a rhino’s, with claws sharp as knives.

Oh, shit.
