Coughing, wheezing, and infection everywhere as I wandered the streets to my destination. I could not believe that this was my future kingdom. As soon as winter hit this past year, the rats invaded to find shelter. They brought disease and death in their wake as they started from the towns on the edge and headed for the castle. It is now almost spring and the rats have not left yet. I pulled my hood closer to my face as I finally reached my destination, the small hospital.
"Thanks the gods that you came!" the head doctor told me as I walked in. "Get suited up and start helping anyone that looks like they need it."
Everyone normally calls the head doctor Doc because no one could tell if they were male or female. The hospital never cared that I was the crown prince but they liked that I help.
"There is one here! Kill it!" A nurse shouted before I heard the gunshot.
