Alice Mayweather was a poor girl
living in a box
the plague took her family
nobody was able to take care of her
she wasn't pretty enough for the golden cat
but she was good-looking for the leader of
the Claws
despise the fact she wanted nothing to do with them
she needed a place to sleep
she would fight tooth and nail
but still ended up in bed
holding a piece of broken glass to her wrist
she prayed to the Outsider
to send for the rats
as she lay bleeding the rats came
devouring her body leaving nothing
but bone
soon the Claws were devoured as well
was this the work of the Outsider
or just a random coincidence
who knows
the Outsider continues to watch
and ponders
if Alice hadn't committed suicide
what would she had done
we will never know
it matters not the choice
was hers
