Bill wakes up one day to find that the grass in his yard has grown to about ten feet..

This choice: Chase after the rat  •  Go Back...
Chapter #6

the chase

    by: sand
Bill chased the rat all over his yard, then all over all the neighbor's yards.
Flowers got torn from their beds, mulch and woodchips scattered everywhere.
The rat ran and ran, ducking behind a dumpster. Bill chased it, the rat and
Bill behind the large green container causing such a ruckus that the garbage
tipped over, spewing bags and filth all over.

By this time, all the dogs were barking and lights were coming on all over
the neighborhood. Everyone looked around with dismay at the incredible
mess the chase had left all over streets, sidewalks and driveways.

The rat had succeeded in evading Bill, scurrying under a porch. Wielding
the axe, wild eyed and crazed, Bill panted, waiting for it to come back out.

Freinds and neighbors gathered around with looks of concern, hesitant to
ask anything, lest they set Bill off.

Finally his other neighbor, Fred, got up the nerve to ask, "Hey, Bill, whatcha
doin' buddy?"

"There's a rat!!" Bill screams. "A giant terrorist monster rat!!"

People exchange uneasy looks. Finally Polly, Fred's wife moves closer,
peering underneath.

A small mouse darts out of the hole, scaring her back before running back
under the porch with a squeek.

"Bill," Polly snaps impatiently, snatching the axe away, "Go back to bed."
