I fell asleep in the middle of digging the grave. I woke up with a mouth full of dirt and mud. I spat it out and stood up, tears beginning to form on my face as I instantly resumed digging. It took me the entire day to finish the grave, I had slept until morning.

I gently laid each of the bodies down and after staring at them for a few minutes I began throwing dirt over them. Once the grave was filled and the dirt was packed down I stretched out and said. “Time to get some skulls.”

These people think I’m gonna bury my kids in an unmarked grave? Never! I will build a pyramid! A ginormous structure that commemorates our existence! A tomb good enough for the gods! I will make the divine beings themselves notice me!

Alright, what should I kill? I need to kill something, need to. “Rat’s? Rats.” Alright, let the genocide begin. I stretched out, shaking my legs and stabbing my tail a few times. I hopped up and down for a second, slapped myself on the chest with my tail and yelled. “Fuck all of you! I want my kids back!”

I sprinted into the forest, accidentally running face first into a tree. I grumbled and walked over to the shore. After reaching the clear area I began sprinting once again. It took me ten minutes to reach the mud flats.

I began sprinting around, looking for anything that was alive. It took me ten minutes to find them. A group of over thirty rats were sunbathing and eating some fish. I spat on the ground and leaped into the center of their formation. They were laid out in a loose circle so I did my best to land in the middle.

Unfortunately I was unable to fly and instead landed near the outside of their group. I didn’t give them a chance to react and began slamming my tail through their ear and out the other while screaming “Die you impoverished scum! Cry tears of joy that you get to die by my tail! I’m gonna use your skulls to build a fucking pyramid!”

I stomped on a nearby rat and bit another in half as they finally got moving. A few hesitantly moved towards me but the rest just sprinted away. I killed the four rats who charged me and lazily tossed one into my mouth. “I’m gonna take out all of my feelings on your race you little shits! Prepare yourselves!” I spat out the rat after chewing on it for a few seconds and said. “Feel my wrath!”

I took a shit on one of the bodies then sprinted away, looking for my next kill. “I bet you guys know who killed my kids? Who was it? Who stole my babies from me? Who do I have to kill? If you don’t answer I’ll just kill everything! Simple solution!”

I found my next group of rats and didn’t even slow down. There were only five of them this time. They were strolling along the coast, occasionally squeaking as they thought of dumb stuff like cheese. Cheese, the peasants delicacy.

Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

I stomped on the first two and grabbed another with my mouth. I began chewing on him while stabbing the remaining two with my tail. After chewing the vermin I spat it out and yelled. “How do you feel rats? I bet I feel worse than you do!”

I stomped on the body I had chewed on as I once again started sprinting around. The sun had just begun to set when I had started my hunt and I decided to end it when the sun started to rise. I had ignored my notifications the whole time and was satisfied after checking them.

Now came the hard part, I had to collect every single one of the skulls and bring them back to the grave. Thankfully there were a lot of corpses spread around. And I get to kill more rats whenever I see them!

Truly this is one of life's greatest pleasures. Too bad I can’t share this with my kids. My cheery attitude was sobered by this and I morosely began grabbing corpses by the half dozen and dumping them next to the grave. I would use their entire skeleton, make the pyramid look even bigger.

After half a day of moving corpses I was tired and angry. I had grabbed most of them and only had a small mound left to go. Just as I was stomping through the muddy path I heard a loud deep squeak from behind me.

I turned slowly and saw a rat slightly smaller than me. Behind it was more than a hundred normal giant rats. I couldn't stop smiling as I stood up straight and yelled. “I’m gonna take shits in all of your skulls! I’ll eat a lotta fiber for you lot! Don’t worry! Now get over here and die you on the breadline peasants!”

I charged at the large rat, tackling him to the ground while my tail went to work impaling rats whenever they got near us. My attacker and I were both gigantic, as we rolled around on the ground, growling and grunting with pain.

I managed to use my back leg to rip his stomach open as he sank his teeth into my shoulder. I howled in pain and bit down on his paw. He started to slow down as my paralyzing venom coursed through his veins. I laughed and yelled. “ I almost forgot about my venom! I’ve been killing all of you so fast you shit heads don’t survive long enough to be paralyzed!”

As the rat went still I bent down and ripped its throat out. Blood coated my face as I jumped away from the corpse and yelled. “Come at me, vermin!” The remaining rats stared at my blood soaked form. They looked ready to run but one walked forward and turned towards his brethren. He began to squeak, motioning towards me and then towards the rest of his friends. I just watched in confusion for a minute before walking forward and poking him with one claw.

My claw went right through his spine and I used it like a toothpick to toss him into my mouth. This was becoming one of my favorite ways to kill the rats. It was disrespectful and I got to eat something. I decided not to spit this one out as I was pretty hungry. Instead I swallowed it and yelled. “I’ll shit this one out onto the skull of that big fella! Yeah I’ve been talking about shit a lot lately! Cause thats all you fuckers are worth! My digested leftovers!”

I leapt forward and belly flopped on a rat, pulverizing it and a few others as the rats began screaming and running away. I killed another dozen before they had all disappeared. I laughed and began picking up the bodies while looking at my notifications. Today has been a shitty day. But at least I got to kill some stuff.
