KISSED BY A RAT 🐀🐭 🐀

Tired from the 2 shifts I had today; mine which was an afternoon shift and my friend's which was a night shift, she had gone home early to take care of her sick kid and pleaded with me to take her shift, I just couldn't say no, it's my weakness🥲.

Immediately I closed the door 🚪 behind as I entered my apartment, I tossed my bag👜 on the bed, started taking off my clothes and heading to the bathroom at the same time, by the time I opened the bathroom door, I was naked already. Turned on the shower, took a moment in🧖and then took an all round bath.

I must have spent a lot of time in the 'moment' I took in because by the time I came out, I couldn't feel my legs anymore, they were like that of SpongeBob's, my eyelids couldn't stay open, I had to keep myself from dozing off even while standing. I quickly went to my wardrobe took a brown sleeveless chiffon gown👗 and put on and went to bed immediately.

I tossed and tossed on the bed, I was unable to sleep due to the hot weather, after much contemplation I decided to lie on the floor for the time being till I cool off. I must have dozed off into a weird dream land, it was my ex and I, we were having a conversation about something you shouldn't know.

I felt like I was not alone, I opened my eyes and of course I wasn't alone, there was a big rat 🐭just beside me, funny thing was that I was trapped between my tired sleepy state and my awaken subconscious. You know that moment when you are awake but not completely awake and you are unable to move any part of your body or even talk, yep, that was it.

All I could do was scream, make gestures, do karate and judo moves in my head as I prayed for the rat not to come any closer to me. As if the rat heard me, it came even further🤦 and was sniffing, like he was perceiving a pleasant meal. I just hope it's not my carrot organic cream it's perceiving oo🙏😫🙏...

This rat had mind, climbed me😵and was on my chest cleaning his mouth or whatever it was it was doing. I tried once more to move, the rat feeling the movement held on tight to my cloth, what kind of rat is this🤦 instead of it to run, it held onto me, are you really After me? After the panic attack, the rat came closer to my face as if checking if I was alive or not, I blinked to tell it I was alive.

You know this scene in the movies when two scared people suddenly bumps into each other in a dark room and they look at each other for like 5 secs and one of them shouts and stops, the other shouts also and stops and then both of them starts shouting at once, yea I had that scene with this rat. After I blinked, the rat opened it's mouth as if shouting and I followed suite, shouting on top of my lungs.© Soul Scribbles

The rat immediately ran down and then into my kitchen, I stood up immediately I figured I could move my body again, I jumped, dusted, pulled off my cloth and tossed it at the door and kept on dusting myself as I ran to the bathroom. I had to bath again because I couldn't stand it.

After bathing, this time I laid on my bed, nothing will make my lay on the floor again. I know the scripture says we should greet one another with an holy kiss but I don't think I want to get kissed by a rat 🐭 whether holy or unholy, if not for anything, let me be faithful to be future partner. 🤣🤣😂🤣😆😆

    That's quite a wild story! I've had my fair share of strange moments at home. Like that time I was so exhausted from work, I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to a cricket chirping right next to my ear. It was creepy. Have you ever had an animal encounter that really freaked you out like this rat did? What did you end up doing?
