Life Down the Gutter

A young boy of only 10 ducked behind a corner, panting. *I think I lost them,* he thought. Life in the Rat Tunnels is hard, but the Rat Catchers only make it harder. But he had an advantage. Rats were able to see in the dark, and Catchers can't. He peaks around the corner, and advancing slowly are 3 Catchers, looking left and right through the inky blackness, hoping to get a glimpse of their target. The boy heaves a sigh of relief. Once you escape into the Rat Tunnels, it's near impossible to be found. He turns back towards the corner to take a second look, and he is inches away from beady, blue eyes that are anything but human.
