Hate alone is not enough to nourish. But there’s rage too.

while starting my car yesterday, i heard squealling rubber for a moment which stopped and then came back for good about 10 seconds later. i disengaged the ingintion and popped the hood to investigate. somehow the belt had worked itself loose and was stuck between the pulley and the engine block.
i noticed something long thin at the bottom of the engine compartment coming out from beneath the radiator. figuring it was part of the belt, i reached down and picked it up only to find that it had some weight to it and it was furry. as my urban instincts kicked in i realized it was a rat so i dropped it. this new information in hand and a closer inspection of the “grease” is noticed scattered around the engine compartment revealed that the grey and red substance was probably rat guts. with the help of bobby, local beggar, i got the belt back on to the pulleys.
now it’s time to clean up the mess, so i equipped myself with a shopping bag to pick up and dispose of the remains. turns out i was only able to find half of the victim. i’m guessing the other half will reveal itself gaseously.
i’ll probably need to get the engine steam cleaned.
