i was just getting some food, and heard an odd noise coming from under the sink... opened the cupboard, and saw it was just a carrier bag rustling, so closed it again.

and then wondered why a carrier bag would be rustling.

so i had another look..... and there was a FACE looking at me.

a HUGE rat. it was grey and had big black eyes that blinked at me, and its face was about two inches long.

I AM SCARED.

it looked not much smaller than a squirrel. oh dear god. i'm not scared of rats or indeed rodents in general, but i am when i find a very big one in my kitchen cupboard. and now it's hidden and i can't find it.

fear.
