THE RATS IN THE TOWN DUMP
ben loory
The rats in the town dump collect the bullets after people shoot at them. They take them home, melt them down, then make torpedoes.
They load the torpedoes into their submarines and cruise the sewers after rainstorms and hunt down and destroy all the frogs they can find. Frogs and toads and other little things.
Sometimes we hear the war down there and poke our heads into the sewers and scream.
Stop! Why are you doing that?
But by then only broken frogs remain.
