I have something really shameful to confess… a human being have been defeated by an animal… a woman has been defeated by a rat…
My rat (I won’t name names, just because I’m a real lady) betrayed me. I trusted her. She was my best friend. On weekends, we went out together, made racket wherever we went, got wasted and stoned… I kept her secrets and she kept mine. Me, naïve thing… I didn’t know she was trying to win my confidence just to let me down … it was a stab in the back. Two months after we first met and become friends, I found out that she didn’t want to be my friend, she was just trying to pinch my lovers and my teeth. She succeeded in one of her goals. A friend of mine warned me about her, but I didn’t believe him. He told me: “Your friend is not a good thing. She’s got no good intentions… She’s a Ratoncito Pérez’s (Fairy Tooth) cousin and I reckon she’s helping him to build his teeth-mansion... Watch out..." One fine day, after a night of friendly confessions and drunken laughs, she poured some poison in my wine and I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found this note:

“Dear Marie Veen,
I’m so sorry… voices told me to do so… every night, every single day they were there, white, lovely, young… they whispered in my ears… their words fell harshly on me… “Do it, do it…”. My cousin, Ratoncito Pérez, was also trying to convince me to do so… I didn’t mean it! I swear I didn’t! But I finally did it… I have your milky teeth and you have the holes… They will be with me for the rest of our lives and they’ll remind me of the love and friendship you and me once had. Please, forgive me…
Love, xxx”
