Rodent apocalypse au (Patreon)

Just something I dreamed up, cryp is the most capable zombie killer and relative looter. Cryp has a team of others that they tolerate. cryp meets the guy above and really like em’ right away (its a mutual attraction ) and cryp now ruthlessly wants to care for em’ while helping em’ get better at moving around and doing things. (Like building some support items) and thats as sweet as it gets,because the main point of contention is that no one else thinks the same wa hand even some go as far as find the guy a dead weight. Conflicts and emotional problems ensue, and the themes of the story Hones in On what it is to be human (rat in this case) and the innateness of worth. (As the main character can’t completely contribute to looting, fighting or defending, and is generally suffering from pain and mental deterioration. ) cryp argues that worth is inherent and that basing things of of your ability to contribute something (like strength or intelligence) leads to a cruel system and superiority complexes. Because one day any one can become impaired and no longer “useful”. In the world of survival those philosophies are the hardest abide by, as caring for someone who is a ultimately a “liability” (as the other characters argue), can hurt the chances of survivability. but I don’t want to end the story in a bleak way, I want it to end with hope and to retain one’s own empathy and humanity (or the rodent version of the name) so even if things are hard, the ability to care and be cared for lends itself a self serving hand, and survival is continued.  Such a long story for essentially two random characters that were inspired by one single twitter post (of a sexy lady with a weapon and only wearing underwear) interesting how things end up!
