## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

The attic in November, the dry drip of a leak. A man kneels among rats, their whiskers twitching against his wrists. Beneath him, floors groan under resentment. When the mother’s voice fades to silence, the swarm turns hungry.

A 2003 horror that remembers rats carry grudges.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, dread, raw
