This afternoon, the Office of Planning and Facilities Management sent out an email announcing the demolition of Henle Village was to begin this June. However, the rat who lives in my Henle did not see this message, because he does not have a Georgetown Email. He still uses AOL.

Currently my Henle’s rat has no AC or running water, but unbeknownst to him, it will actually somehow get worse when his entire home comes crashing down around him. With the summer just begun, he is excited to relax and enjoy the next few months, but is totally ignorant of the fact that his mate and newborn rat babies will soon be killed brutally in an avalanche of brick and concrete.

After this, he will become embroiled in a years-long, grueling wrongful death lawsuit with the school that will consume his entire life, leaving him a shell of the rat he once was as he loses his job, friends, hobbies, and everything else in his life to the futile pursuit of justice. But for now, blissfully ignorant of the horrors that await, the rat in my Henle is getting ready for a stress-free vacation. Have a good summer Hoyas!
