Driving Rats Away...

“Hey! Take guard at the North door!”

“Oh! You! Take care of the South one!”

“Relax! I will take charge of the West end!”

“Don’t forget to leave the Eastern zone unguarded, that is the way out, it has to be driven out through that!”



With a full proof plan and armours ready at hand, they jumped at the battle field to drive the intruder out.

The patience and labour of discussing the entire blue print with the soldiers involved in the mission finally proved to be fruitful.

They drove the little creature out from every nook and corner; unsheltered, it ran…with its life popping out at the mouth, unprotected, it ran…it ran for its life.

Received a clean sweep at the North; the South, with a bang of a heavy metal rod narrowly missed its head—West kicked it full blooded and made it fly to the centre again.

Only East remained unmoved, with the door wide open.

All the others, patriots and mercenaries, made their hardest to make its life a hell. To make it run…a merciless run.

It ran, desperate-agonizing run. Its eyes bleed, its heart died for breath, but its feet made it bound to run—to run for life.

It frowned and shrieked, it danced and bounced, it tried all possible efforts to escape to a place safer; impatiently tried to search a hide out; but a whole army of heartless killers were at its tail—all were thirsty for blood.

It ransacked every possible escape, all in vain. There was only one way to move—only one option left unguarded. The choice was clear—either run towards the outer world and save the life, or else, stay inside to succumb to death.

To make it clearer, all were thinking of the first one, as nobody was in the mood to beat it to bits and take more pain of cleaning the mess afterwards.

They drove it crazy—almost died, in a pursuit mad and passionate, it made a last try—ran towards the intentionally unprotected escape—a desperate dive, and it vanished inside the weeds of the garden.

Oh! Then! The whirling joy of success! The ecstasy! And the sigh of relief!


Only if, were it not been an inverse action and the human beings were not been treated as rats, it should have been relieved everyone!
