Chatterbox: Inkwell

Okay, so here's

Okay, so here's the deal. Everybody writes a sentence. JUST A SENTENCE, not two. Then someone else continues with another sentence, etc., until we end up with (somewhat) a story. It's fun, my friends and I do it all the time. BUT REMEMBER, JUST ONE SENTENCE.

Here goes . . . .

Starting sentence- She was a rat like no other.

back to the Inkwell

Her pure white whiskers and jet black body was an obvious difference.

All the other rats thought she was strange.

Nobody knew why she looked like that, including her.

But the special talent that came along with her strange appearence made all the name-calling, rats-fighting, and always being the last rat in the line for food, worth it.

Etherbone the rat could communicate with any species, including humans, and had spent many long and surprisingly joyous hours listening to the chitter-chatter of people and animals around her, often finding out amazing secrets or hearing beautiful stories.

It could also come in very handy to be able to understand the speech of all living things.

And then she heard a secret that astonished her, down to the very last whisker.

It had happened when she had scurried into a small crack in the wall of a big blue house.

She had heard a small girl talking about her pet rat, Tiski, and screaming to her mom that 'Yes he can too talk!'

Then came the sound of trip-trapping boots and a man's deep voice bellowed, "Do not fear, I have bought a dog to KILL the rats!"

She squeaked and clapped a paw over her small mouth.

The girl started to wail and stomp her feet.
