Rat - James Patrick Kelly


I enjoyed this story! To me, it brings to life alot of real-life issues. Although it did have elements of science fiction, the underlying concepts were very realistic. Drug problems truly are a major concern in today's society. As Rat sells his "dust" the destruction that drugs can cause becomes more and more clear. When the "dead" people try and attack him, it made me think of all of the addicts who would do just about anything to get their fix.

Great story. It grabbed me from the very beginning and I really liked the message that it drove home. SAY NO TO DRUGS!!!! Haha.

Thanks for the picture. He's become famous thanks to me and a mate at our old school now, he features in History presentations that our old history teacher shows to her students. Just thought it might be nice to let you know the influence 'Ratman' has had down in southeastern Melbourne
