RATS

Learn a lot from a rat you can.
Take that big black one over there. Been working his way through that door for a while now. He knows.
Gorbag knew too. "They can make mistakes. Even the Top Ones," he said.
Shoulda listened. Weren't much real chance of us slipping off on our own, not if He was watching. But it woulda been a sight better than winding up like that maggot Ufthak.
Saving that pretty shirt shoulda earned me a choice assignment in the Tower, but no. What does I get for doing my duty? Grrr, a knife in the gut would have been better than to be left hanging on a hook in the Black Pits.
Ain't even gonna have the rats to keep company with soon. See, they know. That's why they're leaving.
Disaster's got a stench to it. Rats can smell it. Old Gorbag could too.
Shoulda listened to him.
