A Rat In Bed

A rat in bed Before going to bed, I was thinking of my dog it liked sleeping between my neck near the jugular vein, this I think made her feel like a master of my life and death In the night I could feel soft fur on my neck switched on the light it was sleeping soundly mouth half open showing long front teeth, a bloody big rat had taken the liberty to sleep with me. First I panicked ran into the living room to find a hammer, but it was in the shed, back in the bedroom the rat still sleeping ,I grabbed it by Its tail carried it outside threw it into the street. I didn`t kill it, though, the blood on the pillow and so on, also in case it had the soul of my dog that had got a bit confused forgetting it was a vermin now
