"Dedicated to Rat Gibbons Jr, no relations. He passed too young. With this story, he can live on, forever."  - Author, Rat Gibbons

He was once a man, but now he is a rat. Trapped in a prison cell for years, he has survived by eating the only other living creatures in his cell: the rats. But as he devours them, he also becomes them. He loses his memories, his identity, his humanity. He becomes the rat king, the lord of vermin, the master of madness.

But when a riot breaks out in the prison, he sees a chance to escape. He sees a chance to take revenge on the guards who neglected him, tortured him, forgot him. He sees a chance to reclaim his life, or what's left of it.

But can he really escape the rat race? Or is he doomed to be a rat forever?

Rat-tional is a dark and twisted tale of mental health, survival, and transformation. It explores the themes of isolation, identity, and insanity, and the horrors of becoming what you eat. It is a story that will haunt you, shock you, and make you question your own sanity.

"A creepy and disturbing yet somehow fascinatingly horrible tale of a mentally damaged person. It really changed my perspective of life. I am sobbing after reading this."

"This story touched me. I am the rat. The rat. The rat." -Rat Gibbons Sr.
