Summary: “The Two Rats and a BB-Gun” is a Flash fiction written by Raphael Dagold. It talks about two rats that try to pass through an alley “guarded” by a boy with a BB-Gun. The first rat is convincing his friend to pass by saying that the boy will “be confused, and [they] know his aim is bad.” The first rat makes a run for it while the boy’s distracted by his drunk mother. The second rat, seeing the first one cross safely, goes confidently but gets shot by the boy.
