They cleared the rats
The pest control team worked diligently, spending hours ensuring every rat was removed. When they finally gave Martha the all-clear, she felt a heavy weight lift off her shoulders. “We’ve eliminated the colony,” the lead technician confirmed. She thanked them with sincere relief, watching as they packed their equipment and left her house much quieter than before.
Though her home was technically safe now, a strange silence settled in. The emptiness felt unnerving, almost unfamiliar after the chaos. Martha stood alone in her kitchen, staring at the drain where it all started. She tried to convince herself it was over, but an unsettling memory lingered in every corner. Normalcy wouldn’t come as easily as she hoped.
