What a way to go, little runt. I’m loving Marcus and his growth of vocabulary!

As a writer, I’m sure you’ve written a sentence or a paragraph that you’re proud of. Marcus’ little incoherent eulogy for the rat is one of those paragraphs for me. 🙂

I'll miss the little runt. I was hoping we'd get a version of "The Incredible Journey" with him, Marcus, and Mina. (Maybe a flashback? Hey! I can hope!)

Nice nod to Fight Club/"His name was Robert Paulson!" by dropping that the guinea pig's name was Selwyn.

He was incorrigible, wasn't he?
