Ezra
Was it the right time to tell Ezekiel I was terrified of rats?
I constantly heard something scurry behind me which made my heart skip a beat. I could face a hoard of security officers but one rat would be the end of me.
"Are you sure there's none?" I whispered into the mic hoping he would hear me.
"Ezra, there's nothing there. The building gets an exterminator to do a check up each month. Not even a fly can get in there. Just keep on going. We don't have all the time in the world," I could tell Ezekiel was trying to be patient with me but I had to be safe.
I didn't want to get bitten and next thing I had rabies or the Black Plague. I hadn't ever seen a superhero getting bitten by a rat and becoming something cool like spider man or… I wasn't even sure which superheroes had gotten bitten by something. The point was I didn't want to be Rat Man. No one would watch that movie.
