Destiny has a way of having the last laugh. Rat hole fell victim to it. It was 3rd Jan and the weather was at its tempestuous best. It was howling like a wild hyena trapped by lions. Rat was at his desk browsing through the infinite web pages. Rat suddenly felt thirsty. As the Rat stood …THUDDDDD… The Drawer beneath the study table had caved in to gravity (and this time acting under no inebriation..tsk tsk.. Dream Lover). Phew! Else you had a handicap for sure!!
Well hold your horses..or rats. The day seems have had all the rotten cats in store for the Rat. As Jet and Owl finished their very tiring day, Rat volunteered to make some tea. THUDDDDD… No no the desk didn’t cave in. Rat just spilled whole loads of sugar that Jet had propelled all the way from India. Eeks..now we shall have more creatures in the rat hole…ANTS…Anyways sugar was mopped up and the tea was served .(Her Highness Pooh had requisitioned some as well so one extra serving was the order of the day). Anyways after the grueling experience of having to mop up the floor with stench filled mops and giving Rat Paws tough time…it was time for the Rat to cleanse itself.
It was 7:30 PM.
Shower is one soothing experience. As water trickles, you lose your sense of reality and the dream is what you want to continue till perpetuity. Alas some dreams have to end! And Rat’s did pretty drearily. As the Rat squeezed past the bathroom door laying the paws on a very slippery mat…..zshhhooom…(the sound effects may not be right). Plethora of Blood on the floor. The skin near right ankle above the heel in tatters. Split Wide Open. Apparently a minor slip gave steel edge enough opportunity to find a safe cushion…eeeks…this was a blood bath…
Rat tried to leave the bathroom ..limping..entered the Rat Hole(warm and cozy..when bitten all rats do that). Rat hole was now blood drenched. Owl and Jet now extricate the Rat out of the Rat Hole. After ½ hour of continuous water force on the wound, blood gave up. Jet was by this time ready with ½ a kilo of cotton and probably 1 litre of savlon. Rat shirked. Whiskers that were dangling…drooped. After some oohs and aahs…diluted Savlon was applied on the wound. Owl was more…err…owlish in his manner with concentrated Savlon directly being applied to the wound. That was OUCH.
Jet seems to have had degree in taping wounds. A near perfect job of bandaging the battered area. The Rat was all ready to enter the Rat Hole again…albeit..limping.
It was 9:30 PM. After an inquisitive and worried visit by Pooh..it was time to hit the bed.
This is the beginning….

Well, all I can say is that you had a bad day - 3rd Jan. Get well soon!
And, No wonder Jet is good at taping wounds, after all that's his fall back option, remember BATNA, keeping in mind the job scenario out here... Convey this to jet please... :)))
...Wooooo…. I think simply saying what a petrifying; terrifying, daunting…etc experience…would be the understatement of the year!!…but cheer up…at least the rat didn't encounter a cat… otherwise things would have been quite worse :-)
:)I know you will be back and kicking!! literally, this time...
The sequel ...
The rat got so scared of water and slippery surfaces that he always carries an umbrella around !
