It was the misalignment of the rats that confused me. The rats had been huddled along the side of the road, evenly spaced, not minding anybody’s business but their own. And I started stepping on them. And they started eating squirrels. This was after the squirrels choked on plastic wrap from candy bars. I don’t know what happened with the rest of the evening, but I woke up face down on the couch at home. In a place that could’ve been a lot worse. You don’t remember do you? You were dead already but I still think you remember these things.
