Rodent (Priya)

 Vishakha opened the drawer to get her purse and suddenly a rodent peeped from behind. That just made her jump and even the creature. A wave of disgust crawled through her body. 

This matter must be resolved immediately, she thought to herself. She searched for the rat poison. The sign of skull made her laugh. She had read somewhere the choice of weapon for women is poison. Why? Is it because she is in charge of kitchen and administer without problem? Or it avoids direct contact with the victim? 

She spread black granuals on newspaper. She kept it all around the house. Vishakha decided to make herself a cup of tea and drank it with satisfaction. 

Night was very tormenting for Vishakha. Is it something I ate ? She kept thinking to herself. Her body was on fire and her stomach was churning. There was a cruel sensation of someone sticking thousand needles in her body. She came to kitchen for glass of water. Suddenly the whole place was spinning around her and she fell down with big thud. 

The rodent came out from its hiding place. The last vision Vishakha had was the rodent curiously sniffing the poison she had kept.
