Honestly, Charlie, I was fully prepared to flirt with you.

And then I got to "massive nut sack dragging across my palms.”

Now I just want a disinfectant bath, a Valium, and maybe your entire memoir in hardback.

Utterly revolting. Utterly compelling. I’ll be back for more.

Well, I do aim to entertain—

and occasionally unsettle.

Thrilled I managed both. 💋

(Still holding out for the hardback, of course.)

"Evolution has taught us to be repulsed by them.”

That one line alone encapsulates a biological truth and a metaphor for everything we try to ignore—from systemic decay to invisible populations. And the fact that the rats literally became more tame the longer he worked with them? That’s a parable.
