rats play hide and seek

So it turns out that rats can play hide and seek. And they even celebrate their wins. I wonder if the rats that live on our property would like to play.

I'm going to have to work out how to avoid the skunks and raccoons (and the opossum that might still be hanging around) without being obvious. "Oh, hi, skunk family. Didn't know you came out in the day. Want to, uh, play?"

rand()m quote

Remove everything that has no relevance to the story. If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off. If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there.

—Anton Chekhov
