As I get up I stare at the three mysterious heads that had appeared.
"get down here!" Cora yells at the figures that turned out to be three little clockwork rats in their own little marching band suits.
"this is pinky"she says to the one with the drum, who in response pounded on it.
"this is bazil" she says to the one with the symbols.
"and last but not least my boy, the one, the only, clyde!" she says as a white rat plays the trumpet.
"can we go now" says tini who's excitement ran out of her like water in a faucet as soon as the introduction came to an end.
"oh yeah" says Cora "pinky, bazil, and Clyde!, ladder formation!" immediately after the words came from her mouth the rats lined up to create a way out of the trash can.
"lady's first"says Cora as tini silently walks up their makeshift ladder; peices once again chipping off her frail body.
"ow!"said tini quietly clutching her side.
Cora noticing this replied with "let's take you to the doc, he'll know what to do" gesturing her fingers to the mouse and then to tini, the mice then lift tini on to their backs and she slowly falls to sleep on the way toward the place where she thought she would last forever.
