Pest and Prey

Around 4am the dawn was about the break but the sun was hidden by the early morning sky. I could hear my stomach growling and I knew I have to feed myself before I decide to sleep. I put my shorts on and headed to the nearest store. I noticed that most stores are closed then I thought yeah-it was All Saints day, people are probably busy in the cemetery while I'm here at home just enjoying my regular weekday off.

It was drizzling outside and I didn't bother trudging my way without any umbrella. honestly, I didn't notice it. The last meal I ate was the late lunch I got from the fridge so I was pretty determined to satisfy my hunger.

I got myself some instant noodles and while on my way home, I saw a cat who seems to have something in his mouth. I only realized after getting a little closer that he caught a rat and toyed with it. He wasn't munching the dying rat but simply letting it suffer in his mouth to death. I was thinking, what a brutal way to die! Now the pest is the prey!
