So I was walking along in Brooklyn last night - in one of those areas that’s not too far from where I live, yet one that I’d never been to before - when I got to a block that was unexpectedly…nice. And cool!
And I actually stopped in front of one building just to look - an obviously brand new structure (which stuck out compared to the stately old brownstones next to it) which had an awesome set of balconies and a cool design.
I was impressed.
Then, I heard something. Some pebbles rustling down near my feet.
I looked down, and saw a HUGE RAT - beady eyes staring right into mine, hind legs aggressively kicking up gravel… He sped off as I braced myself to jump away from his advance.
I quickly fled.
And for those of you reading this who don’t live out here - that’s what it’s like.
