Side Bet Sequel: The Rat The rat sat‚ his poorly-postured belly slouching lower and closer to the ground‚ as he crammed kilogram after kilogram of biscuits into his whiskered yawning mouth. It had barely been three days since the man had been taken from the island. Three days since the rat had begun his feast of the uncountable kilograms of sea biscuits the man had left him on the island. On the island‚ where above the expanse of sky shone as greedily blue and maliciously amused as the man’s eyes

For the career research project I chose to use a rodeo performer. Rodeo performers do anything from riding bulls to being a rodeo clown. Performers must be 18 or older to get paid.
