I Was a Rat

'I WAS A RAT!' 

So insists Roger. Maybe it's true. But what is he NOW? 

A terrifying monster rampaging in the sewers?

That's what Billy hopes. 

Or just an ordinary small boy, though a little ratty in his habits? Only three people believe this version of the story. Only one of them knows who Roger really is. And luckily a story about her can sell even more newspapers than one about a rat-boy ...
