A Rat for a Friend
By Richard WilsonPublisher Description
I made a new friend after the world ended. About my friend. He's a rat. Literally a rodent. Long-tailed, heavy-bodied. He terrified me at first but now we have an arrangement. I feed him what I can; he brings me what he can. That's what you have to do these days.
