The Will to Resist

Dept. of Petty Affairs: The McRat Incident


Filed by Jerry “The Ankle Biter” Silverhand — with the Catford Duo on standby


Scene: Back in my McDonald’s days, a rat dropped from the ceiling like a final-boss quick-time event. Hit the trash can, squeaked once, then learned what “grease trap” really meant. That was the day I discovered how good it feels to end a problem cleanly.

Flash-forward: Now the “rats” wear headsets. Bill collectors calling like they’ve been waiting their whole lives to ruin your lunch break. They drop from the digital ceiling, squeak for the last four of your soul, and get dunked just the same — blocked, logged, and handled.

Meanwhile, the Catfords observe:

Mrs. Catford tilts her head.

“We don’t kill them, Jerry. We toy with them until they forget why they called.”

Mr. Catford stretches, yawns.

“Why waste claws on what’s already cornered?”

Verdict: Whether rodent or robo-caller, the rule stands: Don’t fall into my shift uninvited. The trash can remembers.
