I hope you enjoy this story. More to come if you want.

Yes please!!!


It was a shame that his own children were afraid of him, my grandmother
allowed it.
His compost heap was awesome and one day he said to me "would you like
to see 10 rats?" I was about 5 or 6 so I said yes. So I saw a litter
of very small rats, pinkies, that he had drowned that were in the
compost heap. I was a bit startled. I said "are they dead ?" He said
yes, and that's sometimes what we have to do"

I cried a bit then. I was a tender-hearted child.


At age 5/6 .....A bit young to be shown such things.

My grandmother didn't notice. Fortunately. If she had I suspect his
dinner would have been on the fire when he came back to the house.


Aye, As it should have been.
