Makoto was sleeping peacefully like a dead dog when, suddenly, he heard screams coming from the other side.
"What's going on", he asked himself, befuddled, unable to open his eyes because glass shards were embedded in them due to yesterday's incident.
Sharpening his other senses to compensate for his lack of sight, he got up from his bed, did five backflips and questioned reality for three minutes. He questioned reality for three minutes. Then he asked Kyoko, who was still locked in the basement, "Kyoko was that your scream or did you buy me a pet goat with a suit and glasses".
Makoto got no response, so he was forced to walk out of his room to check on Kyoko and see if the scream came from her or from the freshly opened gates of hell. But as soon as he stepped out of his room, his entire body experienced a seizure, his feet slipped and he became a soap, causing him to fall through to the first floor of the house.
"I hate becoming a soap" he said, walking at a pace of 50mph towards the basement door. He kicked it open and broke his leg, leaving the door completely unfazed and new as ever. He dragged himself by the collar into the basement's abysmal depths slowly. He continued doing so for 30 minutes until he confirmed there was no life in the basement apart from himself and the slowly dying rat in the corner. Taking this into consideration, he concluded that Descartes' rule of signs was, in fact, logically sound and not open to interpretation. He grabbed the dying rat, put it in his pocket, and left the house.
"I wonder where Kyoko went", he said while licking the dirty rat clean. The rat suddenly started screaming and pointing towards the trash can in the street's corner. Makoto was terrified, absolutely shocked. He never knew rats could scream or point at things so, in absolute terror, he tossed the rat towards Hong Kong with all his strength, subsequently winning the International Shot Put tournament.
Before proceeding to go about his day, he decided it might be a good idea to find out what caused the rat to develop several brain tumors on the spot due to chronic stress. He walked very slowly towards the trash can, so slowly, in fact, that it took him 5 days to reach the trash can. It would have normally taken him 4 days, however, on the fourth day, global warming suddenly ended and it spontaneously got 4 degrees colder, causing Makoto to develop a cold. He had to use the bathroom in the nearby gas station and spent one extra day there. After leaving the gas station, he once again approached the trash can and eventually got close enough to it to examine its contents.
