newton. I had maybe three ways of interpreting this one, but was not sure what you meant about the speaking rat. Anyway, I enjoyed the image of it! Congrats, and Merry Christmas.

Creative way to go. Is that the rat after he got his vaccine that they were experimenting on him? Reads like a good one for the contest..Sara
