.

Hallways deserted and scarred, the only life in the old hospital was rats.

The scrubs cleaned so good the rats were starving.

Oh rats!

I wonder why the rats stay in there when they're starving. Maybe starvation affected their little cerebral cortexes (sp?)

Good one, Jim--unique!

You are a good story writer Jim. Hard to write a story with so few words.

Eeek. Rats. Starving rats. I think I just saw one scurry through the hall.

Great. :)

Jim;

That is clean, I'm impressed.
Don't want rats anywhere inside where I am. Outside is fine!
Sure made me smile after reading.
Have a great week Jim! :)

No food for rats? The scrubs must have moved everything out when cleaning. Good take!

If they're starving that's good and clean. Nice one.

Somehow, I can't find any sympathy in my soul for RATS!

Well done, Jim!

It's nice to know at least one thought about cleanliness in the Hospital.

Someone must have micro-managed those scrub techs very well, for the rats to be starving!

Nice take!

Jim, a very funny one this week! And you're right-memories crop up more and more as the years start to pile up...

Rats indeed!

Thanks for the comment on mine. Hope your week is going well.

I don't usually feel any sympathy for rats, but starvation may not be the most humane way to eradicate them...good one, Jim.
Cheers~
