Staying Awake in The City That Never Sleeps....

Get your kicks

In the city, when the stores close for the day metal grates are brought down over the glass windows for security. Today as I was leaving the gym, I noticed three boys huddled up against one of these metal barriers yelling and kicking at something.

I almost reached for my cell phone, assuming a helpless kid was being jumped, but before I could two of the boys jumped back and I saw that no one was there. One boy was left still kicking violently, he jumped back and began to stomp when I realized... they were killing a rat.
