Sometimes boredom can be truly deadly.
-
Two men can be seen talking to each other on the roadside right beside an opened manhole with a hose snaking out of it.
"Yeah she's a real piece of work hahaha. By the way mate, what's going on here?"
"Oh well they hired me this time to pump out the blockage from the local sewage"
"So that's why it has been smelling kind of funny out here haha"
The two men continued their chatter.

"I'm going out mom"
A blonde young man bid his farewells before exiting through the front door in mono tone.
"Raymond don't forget your spectacles-"
*Thud
Before she could even finish telling him, he shut the door.
---
"You know what? I think you need a break from helping my home community, care for a cuppa tea?"
"Well that sounds nice, thank you for the invitation"
"Great! My house is this way"
The working man then followed the resident for a cup of tea in their house. But then he ran back next to the manhole and picked up a collapsed sign on the ground and stood it up.
"Oh wait I have to set up the men at work sign first"
After doing so he sped up to follow.
---
"Ugh how could I forget my specs? now I'm basically blind"
The same young blonde man grumbled as he walked down the road.
He is wearing what seems to be a medical uniform for nurses.
"Also why do I have to wear this icky uniform? It's so tacky and easily gets covered with dirt....I also look like nurse... When I'm not even one since I'm a psychology student"
He continued grumbling and complaining.
"This day is the worst not only is it boring everything's so inconvenient- woah!"
A dog suddenly headbutted his behind, making him land on his butt as he saw the dog running past him, giving it a bewildered and annoyed look.
"Bloody Hell!...what a shitty dog"
He cursed the canine.
And as he looked down while getting up to dust himself, the dog continued running and turned to the left and toppled over a signage.
"Ugh"
The boy said as he started walking again.
To pass the boredom, he opened his phone and started scrolling while walking.
"Keke"
He continued laughing while watching a funny video as he turned to the left from the corner.
As he continued to senselessly walk, he took another step, and that's when he felt his heart drop.
"Huh?-"
Before he could even wonder, the ground beneath his left foot disappeared as he put all of his weight into it, and past his vision beyond his phone, a circular hole of darkness covered the background and immediately engulfed everything from his surroundings.
He dropped his phone into the abyss that awaited him and tried to stretch both his hands to stop the fall, tearing off his palms' skin in the process as they grazed the rocky walls, leaving behind blood in his descent.
"Hahhhhhh!!!!!"
As his screams echoed down into the manhole.

It was now the afternoon sunset and the moon was beginning to rise.
"I guess that's it for the unclogging for today, that was some good tea though"
The same worker went back to the site.
"Oh? Why's the sign on the floor?"
The worker man looked at the toppled signage. And just right beside him, the circular darkness was looking quite menacing this time. And inside the man hole-
"M-mom..... D-dad"
A blonde boy weakly tried to scream amidst the surrounding mustiness and darkness as he felt his weak and broken body becoming cold.
"Welp hopefully nobody was dumb enough to not notice the hole"
The worker man said while holding the manhole cover, as he covered the only ray of light that shone into the bloody depths. Although unfortunately, he couldn't see the blood.
"N-no.... N-no..."
The bloody boy weakly screamed in silent agony as he continued denying his gruesome fate, the fate of being chewed on by rats flesh upon flesh while still being conscious, not even being able to move due to his crushed bones.

Inside a certain house, the boy's mom prepared dinner for the family.
And as she washed the dishes she wondered-
"Huh? How long is he gonna take? I don't think he has an after school session today"
His dad heard his wife's monologue from the living room and said-
"Maybe he's with his girlfriend or something"
"Really? Oliver? Your son's gay!"
"Oh... Well maybe he's going down on a boy as of this moment"
"Oliver!"
"Hahahah"
The dad laughed as he continued watching the TV.
Unbeknownst to them, he really went down...not on someone though...
somewhere.
