CRACKKK! A loud snap was heard around the world. Everyone panicked thinking it was the worst. People took shelter and the whole world was in chaos. However, it was not an earthquake or volcano, or meteor. It was a rat. The scratchy beasts name was, flamingo. Flamingo wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, or you could say not the brightest rat in the sewer. He lived in a deep trench under the moist but yet crusty earth. It only cost thee one cent to make it. He found a moldy brown penny in the sewer one day. Then he charged at the speed of light to buy something. Fire trails roared behind him. This later caused a forest fire leading to thousands of deaths but anyways. He has always been so poor, never being able to buy anything. ANYTHING. He sprinting on his miniature stick legs and went to a yellow school bus. In the bus he tried making a deal with the bus driver. Her name was, Joliene. They both compromizimed and made a deal of flamingo giving Joliene a cent for a disgusting, cold, rotten, ripped, slimy, moldy, flaky, moist wrapper, the only thing he could afford. He scurried it off to his den and used it as a blanket. In the cold bitter nights he would bite his fur right off of him leaving his skin noticaly red and raw. Sometimes he would peel his skin off to keep warmth.
