Serum

Have they found it? 
No, they wouldn't have.
The last transmission we intercepted said one of their kind perished today.
They can afford to lose people, but we are just a handful.
We need to find that serum fast.
Did you know that they believe the serum is derived from our blood?
Ah! If it's true then why do we need the serum?
Is it why they are always after us?
Shhhh! Did you hear that?
What?
Sounds like someone is tampering with our locks.
Haven't you activate the force shield?
The force shield is weak against their new technology.
Keep still.
I can hear voices.
They are coming for us.
Let's make sure that they don't get what they are looking for.
You mean?
Yes, press the incinerator button.
But...
Press it now, damn it.
Awww, crap the button jammed.
Now what.
Let's go greet them and figure out whether we can help them find the serum.
Hope they don't turn us in to lab rats.

Last night they discovered a human in the sewers, screamed the headline on Daily Vermin Times. Ed Rat paused to scan the headline and sipped his morning tea.

At that time rats used to be in the sewers and the humans used to be outside. Maybe they too had a Vermin Extermination Program. How ironic, thought Ed. We were destined to rule the world. We withstood their poison and laboratory tests. In fact, the tests made us stronger and resistant to the diseases. Now look at them hiding in sewers away from us, fearing us. The telephone rang. Ed woke with a start from his reverie. There must be something wrong, he thought. My room has shrunk, there are metal bars everywhere. It looks like a cell. I can see my cousins in another cell. They are all playing with something. What's this lump on my hand? What...

Death Wish

I have to write. Those were the words that escaped the dying man's lips. He was found lying unconscious near a mountain of blank paper. His autopsy revealed over exhaustion as the reason. But what did he want to write so badly that it killed him, no one knows. The task was designated to the junior cop who was part of the investigation team. Let's call him Namura. So here we are with Namura in a room with the mountain of blank paper. He is awed as to why should there be so many papers near a dying man. He picks a sheet on the top. He studies it. It's as blank as blank papers can be. No pencil or pen has violated its virgin whiteness. Namura thinks of the white bed sheets back home. He is tired. All he wants is to crash on his bed. He feels angry about the whole situation. Here I am, staring at a blank piece of paper, wondering why someone who wanted to write so badly didn't write a single word, while the whole world is sleeping on their comfy beds. He wanted to tear the ...
