.

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.

    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!

    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~
