Space Station Rat
“She could not reach an itch at the bottom of her tail. She rubbed the itchy spot against the warm pipe, then sat down to groom her big, round belly. There were crumbs scattered around Rat. Imagine! Too full to eat every crumb! Rat liked that.
Rat was in her nest in one of the forgotten parts of the space station. It was dim and musty-smelling and safe. There was the nice warm pipe, and even some dust. Every once in a while, something made a sound. Pffss-sit! It sounded just like when the scient...ists opened a bottle of fizzy water. But otherwise, it was quiet. Rat did not like the sound. However, she appreciated it. It reminded her—stay alert.
Rat had worked hard for three days, sneaking back and forth from the food machines on Ring 9 to her nest on Ring 5. What a long trip! Rat did not like the lightness as the fake gravity weakened. The weaker gravity was about the only thing she did not like about her nest. It made her feel less connected to the space station, less able to escape danger.MoreLess
