Zeri was losing it.
It was like this everyday.
Hours upon hours, from arrival to leaving.
Seven days a week.
It was amusing at first, really help to fuel the abuse engine.
However, weeks of this had taken their toll.
And after Tar, something changed.
This all stopped being fun long ago.
Fluffies. NO. Shit Rats. SHIT RATS. SHIT. RATS. These were not Fluffies. These were Shit Rats, and Shit Rats were only capable of producing two things in endless amounts: Waste and whinging, and the Shit Rats in Entepott Fluffy Shelter were of no exception.
Fluffy want this. Fluffy doesnât want that. This. That. This. That. THIS. THAT. You would think they would have understood their situation, but they did NOT. They NEVER did. Lock them in a glass box. Ignore them for weeks and only serve them their fellow Fluffies with some extra expired kibbles on the side. The only time they were given freedom was when it was time to be eaten. Where in this whole goddamn fucking situation did it give the Shit Rats any idea that they were in a position to make any of their stupid fucking demands and any of their stupid fucking complaints.
How microscopic was a Fluffy⌠No a Shit Ratâs brain? Did their head literally consist of an empty skull with nothing more than a lump of condensed shit molded into something that resembled a brain? Was that how a Shit Rat was able to spew so much of their annoying crap and literally evacuate their entire body weight of shit every single fucking day? Was this why they were so fucking stupid? Like so unbelievably stupid? So incredibly, infinitesimally stupid that their heads might actually have been black holes, because they were so absolutely devoid of any intelligence whatsoever that it was actually amazing they were capable of walking and talking in the first place.
Fluffy wants sketti. Fluffy wants toys. Fluffy wants TV. Fluffy wants a daddeh or a mummah. Fluffy wants a nice, loving home? Uh⌠Didnât you come from one? Every single one of these Shit Rats were either a runaways or a drop offs. Jimmy fucking Cricket might say that not every runaway was a Smarty Shit Bag who wanted the latest sex foal or spaghetti from Jordan motherfucking Ramsey, or a Bitch Fuck Mare who wanted a bunch of whiny, noisy babies with their assortment of pWetTY coWOrS and those whiny, high pitched voice that could literally beat nails on chalkboard for worst fucking noise in the world.
Firstly, Jimmy Cricket could fucking suck her tight ass and fuck off to fairy land, and secondly, EVERY SINGLE ONE one of those Shit Rats, except the stupid dumbass Bestest babbehs, were all from a nice home, because they would ALWAYS complain about stuff they had in their previous life as House Fluffies.
So the runaways were basically a bunch of greedy, greasy, needy bags of wanton desires that were unsatisfied with living in the lap of Fluffy luxury and clearly wanted to be treated like the Kings and Queens of Fluffykind. Was it worth your majesties? You ran away from your kingdom and found yourself here in what was essentially Fluffy prison. Those were just the runaways though. The drop offs were like a whole other fucking mess.
Fluffies or Shit Rats who were too fucking arrogant or just plain idiotic to understand good Fluffy behavior. It was just basic fucking decency crap too. Shit in the Fluffy version of a toilet. Donât bite the hand that feeds you. Respect the decisions of the person who was actually bothered to give you a good life in a world where there were a million miserable ways for a Shit Rat to exist, but the Shit Rats in this situation were not the only infuriating ones.
Most of the time, a drop off came from a Hugboxer, because if you were an abuser or neutral you would just gut them or throw them in the trash. Only a Hugboxer would still care enough about these spoiled, entitled Shit Rats to send them to a shelter. They might have saw it as a mercy thing, but Zeri knew what it was. I cannot be bothered to deal with this Shit Rat I raised, but I also want to maintain the sense of moral high ground, so instead of killing it or throwing it, I shall send the Shit Rat to Fluffy Prison and let it be someone elseâs problem. Fantastic solution you humane Hugboxer. Fan-fucking-tastic.
Oh and the people who came over, just to spew insults. Wow those people surely were the best. I am pissed off and love Fluffies. Let me insult the people who actually give a shit about Fluffies and actually want to try to give good Fluffies good home. Oh what was that? Get off my lazy ass and help? Nah. I prefer bitching and whining rather than actually doing anything to help the situation. They were actually like the Shit Rats they were trying to protect.
Zeri took a deep breath and cooled off.
She was really getting into box-shaming territory and that wasnât exactly the best when you were working two Hugboxers. Two Hugboxers that she still respected, though that respect was certainly fading slowly, as she tried to figure out how anyone could ever hold compassion for these whiny, idiotic abominations.
Speaking of whiny, idiotic abominations, there were six in front of her.
Six Shit Rats trapped in the deep sink.
Vibrant colors.
Cheeks in full puff.
Angry eyes.
âDummeh wady! Wewwe am sketti!â
âY meanie wady twick Smawty!â
âWet Bubbow out wite nao!â
âWan sketti NAO!â
âGib sketti o Fwuffy gib worstest poopies!â
âSKETTI! SKETTI!â
Zeri stared at the six with a cold look of disdain.
Six ugly Shit Rats. All Shit Rats were ugly. Fluffies too. Theyâd probably get more support if they looked cute like Tar.
Tar?
Why was she always thinking of Tar?
Zeri frowned and made a low, angry growl. One scary enough to make the Shit Rats nervous. All six of them growing silent as they backed away to the sides of the sink.
âNu⌠nu huwties, am gud Fwuffyâ
Zeri sneered.
There was no sadistic amusement, only annoyance.
Fluffies. No. Shit Rats were just so stupid.
So fucking stupid.
A bunch of stupid fucking cowards, who seemed entirely oblivious to how low they were in the entire fucking food chain. Acting like top dogs when the only thing they could beat was a dogâs shit, and even then there was a 50% chance they kill themselves in their stupidity, somehow choking on the turd in their infinite idiocy.
Speaking of idiots, it seemed one had gone full circle. So stupid that it ignored survival instincts in lieu of its overwhelmingly arrogant ego. A full cyan Shit Rat with a yellow horn had stepped forward, ignoring its fears to give Zeri another angry pout.
âWet Bubbow gu wite nao, o Bubbow gib dummeh meanie hooman worstest sowwi hoofies and worstest sowwi poopiesâ.
The Shit Rat had stomped his hoof on the sink to show he meant business.
Zeri just stared at him coldly.
God, Tar would have taken her death in stride. Smiled with some kind words.
Why was she thinking about Tar again?
Zeri closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before looking to the counter.
âDummeh hooman! Nu heaw Bubbow!?! Wet Bubbow out o Bubbow gib worstest huwties!â
Zeri ignored the threat, reaching for the knife. However, as she gripped it, she began recall the feeling of plunging the knife in Tarâs head.
A brief feeling of guilt, so Zeri looked for something else.
She looked through the drawers and found a meat tenderizer. Why did Entepott have one?
Didnât matter. Holding the meat tenderizer didnât make her feel bad.
She turned back to the sink.
The âbraveryâ of the cyan Shit Rat had inspired the other five. The five other Shit Rats looking a lot less scared and no longer clinging to the sides of the sink, getting ready to resist alongside their fellow Shit Rat. It was so pointless.
So pointlessly stupid.
âDummeh hooman! Wet Bubbow out! Wan sketti nao!â
âDummeh wadyâ one muttered
âWan skettiâ another added.
God they really were just such idiots werenât they? Pretty much four walls surrounding them. No hope of ever overpowering their captor. Not even a chance of escape, yet somehow they still saw grounds to make demands. Tar wouldâŚ
âShut the fuck up!â Zeri screamed.
The Shit Rats went silent, but Zeri didnât care.
She grabbed the stupid, ugly cyan Shit Rat by the mane, lifting it up with ease.
âBad upsie!â
She slammed the brainless, hideous Shit Rat onto the kitchen.
âNU HUWTIES!â
She gave the imbecillic, repulsive abomination the death glare as it looked at her with terrified eyes, tears already quick to form.
âPwease nice wady. Bubbow am gud Fwuffy, nu huwties. Fwuffy am onwy fo huggies n wuvâ
Tar wouldnât haveâŚ
Shut the fuck up
SHUT
THE
FUCK
UP
SERIOUSLY
SHUT
THE
FUCK
UP
Zeri snapped out from her daze and stared at the meat tenderizer. An ominous red liquid dripping from this small metal mallet.
She stared at the Shit Rat. It was clearly dead.
The corpse was a grotesque sight. The head smashed all the way into the body, causing the body to rupture and split, as blood gushed out, leaking from the tears down onto the kitchen counter and onto the floor.
âFuckâ Zeri muttered
She had ruined the Shit Rat fur and dirtied the floor.
The mutilated corpse suddenly fell onto the floor, knocking down a bottle of cleaning detergent. The bottle cap, not properly screwed, spilling its contents all over the body and all over the floor.
Fuck fuck fuck.
Now the meat was ruined and the mess on the floor was even bigger.
Zeri made an exasperated sigh, as she massaged her forehead in frustration. She stared at the contaminated corpse. The disgusting, mutilated bag of blood and excrement. She could not help, but sneer at the mess.
Fucking Fluffies.
She turned back to the other five. All frightened out of their wits. The wails of anguish from their once bold brethren had no doubt served as a reality check into their situation.
She stared at them coldly, watching them snivelling with fear.
Absolutely pathetic.
She made one step forward and the Shit Rats all made terrified screams.
âPwease nu huwties!â One screamed âFwuffy sowwi! Sowwi!â
A small smile formed on Zeriâs face, but it quickly turned into a frown.
She remembered something Tar had said. That thing about how her smile was like that owner. She didnât like thinking that she was similar to the man in any way.
Suddenly the door slammed open. Ariella was by the door.
âZERI!â
âTHE FUCK BOSS, IâM RIGHT HEREâ Zeri screamed back
Ariella looked at her with surprise, but frowned slightly.
âZeriâ Ariella responded calmly âCome with meâ
Ariella stormed out and Zeri followed quietly. Out the kitchen and up to the front desk, where a man was stood holding a larger crate
âOh the meat grinderâ Zeri stated casually.
Ariella looked at her disbelief.
âWhat do you mean, oh the meat grinder?!â
âI ordered a meat grinder for Entepottâ
Ariella gave her a flabbergasted look.
âWh⌠Where in our budget does it say meat grinder fund?!â
âUh⌠nowhere thatâs why I bought the meat grinder with my own money, duhâ
Ariella stared at Zeri stunned, and she looked like she was going to say something, but Zeri had an inclination about what she was going to say.
âYou canât tell me to send it back!â Zeri exclaimed âI already paid for the whole thing in full, no refunds, and it makes my life easier!â
Ariella looked shocked at first, then scowled slightly, before making a deep sigh.
âFi⌠Fine! We can install YOUR meat grinder AND THEN you and me are going to have a conversation about doing things without TELLING ME FIRSTâ.
Zeri looked away before making a slight shrug, as Ariella looked at the delivery man.
âDo you do the installation too?â
âYes maâamâ
Ariella sighed.
âOkay follow meâ
Ariella headed for the kitchen, but Zeri raised her hand.
âI accidentally ruined one of the Shit Ratsâ
âWhat do you mean ruined?!â
âSpilt some bleach on itâ
âHuh?â
âWhat can I say? It was an accident?â
Ariella made a frustrated sigh, then nodded.
âOkay. Just get another oneâ
âCoolâ
Zeri watched as Ariella led the man to the kitchen, then she headed to the housing area.
She was immediately greeted to that noise.
Fwuffy wan gu bac tu housie!
Fwuffy hatechu!

Fwuffy hatechu!
Meanie hooman!
Fwuffy gib worstest hurties
Fwuffy wan nummies!
Zeri ignoring their incessant whining, as she scanned the cages for an unlucky replacement. One caught her eye. A foal. Snot nosed little shit. Bright blue fur with a crimson red mane and tail.
âWet Bestest babbeh n mummah gu wite nao!â
Zeri locked eyes with the foal. His cheeks puffed up like balloons ready to burst, with the typical angry eyes.
âDummeh wady! Fwuffy n babbeh am gud Fwuffies. Wan sketti nao!â
Zeri looked into the cage, staring at the mare. Blue and red just like her baby. No surprise why it was her bestest. God they disgusted her. Tar would neverâŚ
Zeri clicked her tongue in annoyance, as she stared at the duo. The bestest babbeh stepped forward, hitting his hooves against the glass.
âWet bestest babbeh n mummah gu o bestest babbeh am gonna gib hurties ebah!â
âOh yeah?â Zeri taunted âYou gonna give me hurties?â
âBestest am gonna gib WORSTEST hurties!â
âOh really? Little shitty poopie brat going to give me the worstest hurties?â
âBESTEST AM NUT POOPIE N GONNA GIB WORSTEST HURTIES!â
âItty bitty little shitty gonna give the dummeh hooman worstest hurties. Huh? Little poopie muncher. Little piss bag. Little dumb ugly rat?â
The Bestest babbeh looked at her momentarily stunned before growing angrier.
âSCREEEEEEEEEEEEE BESTEST BABBEH GON GIB WORSTES POOPIES!â
The Bestest babbeh spun around and lifted its tail, spewing projectile feces right at Zeri.
Except the glass door was still closed, so it just splattered all over the glass.
It was just so stupid.
So fucking stupid.
So insanely, unamusingly brain-dead that she had trouble comprehending how feral Fluffies existed in the first place.
Was it sheer dumb luck? Was this how these idiotic, revolting creatures survived as a species!? Because she certainly couldnât figure any other way.
âWET BESTEST BABBEH AM MUMMAH GU!â screamed the foal from behind the feces covered glass.
SMACK
Zeri slammed her palm against the glass door angrily.
âShut. The. Fuck. Upâ she said with a low growl.
Zeri looked at her hand and realized that the meat tenderizer was still in her hand.
The blood from the previous kill, still staining the metal.
Reminders that she had to choose a replacement.
FUCK YEAH
She opened the glass door to see the mare staring at her in fear, the Bestest babbeh looking her briefly with terror, before suddenly pouting again.
âDummeh ho-SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEâ
Zeri had grabbed the foal and sent it flying out of the cage. The foal smacking against the door of another cage, before landing on the floor.
âNU HUWTI-â
Before the mare could utter another word, Zeri rammed the head of the meat tenderizer right into the mareâs stomach, listening to the sweet, sickening crunch of rib bones cracking.
âFWU-â
This time Zeri smashed the meat tenderizer right onto her throat. The feeling of the tool crushing the mareâs larynx, as the mare spurted blood from her mouth.
âpw-â
Zeri shoved the meat tenderizer in the mareâs mouth, staring at the mare as it looked back at her in horror. She pushed the metal head down mouth sadistically slow, trying to help the mare understand just how pathetically weak she was.
CRACK
The hammer went through. Crushing her jaw.
Zeri just sneered.
So fucking pathetic.
âCheep cheep. Nu huwt babbeh. Cheep cheepâ.
Zeri turned around. Much to her surprise, baby blue had survived, but it was far from intact. The Bestest babbeh had broken its hind legs and was trying to escape by dragging itself away.
âCheep cheep. Am onwy wittle babbeh. Cheep cheep. Onwy fo huggies n wuvâ.
Zeri took one step forward, and the Bestest babbeh looked at her with terror in its eyes.
âNu huwties! Nu huwties! Cheep cheepâ
God it was just so pathetically weak.
âNU HUWT BABBEH!â Shouted a familiar voice.
Zeri turned around in surprise, and watched as Petal rushed between her feet and dived in to protect the Bestest babbeh. Where the fuck did she come from?
âPetal⌠Moveâ Zeri said coldly.
âNu!â Petal screamed with tears in her eyes.
Suddenly another familiar face stepped forward, protecting both Petal and Bestest babbeh. One Zeri never expected: Wimpy.
There were a few things that Wimpy remembered about his old life. Mainly just the scary things
He wasnât always named Wimpy. He had another name, but he couldnât remember it. He had a loving daddeh too, but he couldnât remember much about that either. What he did remember was that bright time.
Daddehâs daddeh was watching teebee. Wimpy was watching quietly. Watching quietly in the corner of the room, as he played with daddeh and some toys.
The teebee was loud. It was always loud. Daddehâs daddeh always watched teebee loudly, especially when he drank that adult juice.
There was a scawy hooman on the teebee. A big mistah making walkies towards them. Wimpy could still remember the scawy meanie look on the mistah. The way the mistah would make a loud booming noise every time he made walkies. It sounded like the loud bright noises that came when wawa fell from the sky.
Daddeh called the mistah, Thow, and the thing Thow held had a name too, Mowniw.
Miss Zewi reminded Wimpy of Thow. The way she made walkies. Slow yet so scawy. So large and imposing. Wimpy could imagine the booming noise with each step.
CRACK!
CRACK!
CRACK!
The way that Miss Zewi stood, standing in front of the shewtew light. The darkie hiding most of her features, but Wimpy could still see her see places. Wimpy could still see the anger. They were just like daddehâs daddeh.
It was the same bwight time that Wimpy got so scared of Thow. Thow had raised Mowniw and there was a very, very loud noise. So loud that Wimpy screamed and made bad poopies. Daddehâs daddeh really did not like that.
Daddehâs daddeh started shouting at daddeh. He did this many times before. Daddeh would just stay quiet and Wimpy just covered his hear places, but it was different the time, because Wimpy actually heard what daddehâs daddeh was saying.
Daddehâs daddeh was blaming daddeh for the loud noise Wimpy made and the bad poopies Wimpy made. Daddehâs daddeh was blaming daddeh for the bad thing Wimpy had done and Wimpy could see the wawa in daddehâs see places.
It made Wimpy so angry, because it was so unfair, and Wimpy decided to be brave.
Wimpy stepped forward and shouted at daddehâs daddeh for being such a meanie to daddeh.
He never forgot daddehâs daddeh see places. The anger.
Everything else was just hazy.
Daddehâs daddeh had his own Mowniw. A Mowniw used to hold the adult juice.
Suddenly daddeh was covering him.
Daddeh screaming.
Daddeh having sleepies.
The boo boo juice.
That was the day that Wimpy stopped being brave, because being brave got someone he loved hurt, and that was the last bright time he saw daddeh. Some other hoomans took daddeh away, to live with another hooman and daddeh could not bring him along.
Wimpy got taken in by some other hooman who gave him this name, because he was so scared of everything, and eventually Wimpy found himself here.
Here. Staring at Miss Zewi as she stood over him with those very angry see places. He was being brave again. Being brave to protect Petaw and this bestest babbeh, but it was taking all his strength to even stand on all four, and he could feel his scawdie poopies coming out.
Do you want to die, Wimpy?
Wimpy stared at Miss Zewi with horror, the coldness in her tone as she asked that question. He looked at Miss Zewiâs Mowniw and the Fwuffy boo boo juice dripping from it. Daddehâs daddeh was scawy, but Miss Zewi was way more scawy and Wimpy could not do anything but whimper.
âNu gib huwties!â Petaw screamed âBestest am onwy wittle babbeh!â
Am only a little baby⌠Do you seriously want to die, Petal?
The look on Miss Zewiâs see places was so scary. Miss Zewi really was more scary than daddehâs daddeh, and even Petaw looked so scared, but Wimpy remained in front of them. He knew being brave would get him hurties, but he also knew he would have the worstest heawt hurties if he didnât do anything, so Wimpy still stood still and as Miss Zewi raised her Mowniw, Wimpy closed his see places, ready to accept foebah sweepies.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, ZE!
Wimpy opened his eyes just in time to see Emi mummah push Miss Zewi onto the floor, and Miss Zewi looked shocked, but then angry.
DID YOU JUST FUCKING PUSH ME BITCH!?
FUCK YOU! YOU PSYCHO NUT JOB!?
Miss Zewi stood back up and started pushing Emi mummah back, the two had started giving each other worstest nu hoofies hurties and shouties, Wimpy couldnât look. He turned back to Petaw and the babbeh, Petaw giving him a thankful smile, as the babbeh cried in Petawâs fluff. There was screaming, but Wimpy could really understand what they were saying. He just knew that Miss Zewi and Emi mummah were both really mad. As mad as daddehâs daddeh.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING!?
That was Ella mummah, she had come in and was now trying to stop Miss Zewi and Emi mummah from giving each other worstest hurties. There was a lot more screaming and as Wimpy looked around, he could see the bad Fwuffies laughing and smiling. They liked this? They liked seeing hoomans give each other hurties? It filled Wimpy with heawt hurties. How could these Fwuffies be such meanies? They really werenât Fwuffies. These were Shit Wats.
Wimpy looked back at Petaw, who was trying to calm the babbeh. It had stopped crying as it nuzzled Petawâs fur and Petaw was giving the babbeh free bettah wickies.
âBe⌠bestest babbeh hab⌠hab⌠worstest hurtiesâ the babbeh cried out
âIz otay babbeh, Petaw am hewe, Petaw pwotect yu fwom huwtiesâ
âPetaw am mummah?â The babbeh asked.
âNu⌠bu Petaw stiww wuv yu wike mummahâ
âHu hu hu worstest hurtiesâ the babbeh cried out as it buried its head in Petawâs fur.
Petaw nuzzled it more, making soft coo-ing noises to calm it down, and Wimpy turned back to Emi-mummah, Ella mummah and Miss Zewi. The three had stopped giving hurties and shouties, but they all looked angry, then all three looked around and made weird faces, and Ella mummah just looked tired.
âZe. You, me office now! Em. Take care of Wimpy, Petal and the Shit Rats, then come to my office with need to talk about your actions tooâ.
Miss Zewi and Emi mummah just nodded, and both stayed silent. Miss Zewi walked away with Ella mummah, and Emi mummah came by, giving Wimpy such a nice pet.
âIâm really proud of you twoâ Emi mummah said with a smile âWhat you two did was very braveâ
Wimpy and Petal turned to each other and smiled, and Wimpy felt tired. He used all his energy being brave and as Emi mummah picked both him and Petaw up, Wimpy decided it was time for a quick nap.
Ariella was in her office, Reclined against her chair and massaging her forehead in frustration. This was turning out to be a very stressful day.
She had told Zeri to come, but then noticed all the blood, so she told Zeri to wash up first, giving Ariella a short moment to compose herself.
She got out her phone and put her earphones on.
She played her favorite song to regain some mental fortitude.
My Way by Frank Sinatra.
Ariella certainly took that song to heart. My way. It was how she lived her life after 30s. Her way. How she ran Entepott Fluffy shelter.
Ariella made another long sigh.
Zeriâs attitude and Emiliaâs pushback werenât the only headache today. Another one had popped up. The worse bit was that it could have been avoided if they had been a little more diligent.
They had neglected the livestreaming element.
Live recordings of the play room.
Entepott Helpers teaching Good Fluffies how to be Good Fluffies.
Good Fluffies playing about and having fun without Human supervision.
Entepott Helpers cleaning the playroom afterward without needing instruction.
Introduction day for the new batch once a week.
That included the day Tar went berserk.
Problem was, they didnât delete that livestream. They didnât even remember they had it. Partially because they were all so busy with work and partially because of a miscommunication error, but the main point was that the Entepott channel had livestreamed a Pleasure Fluffy killing three foals and the chaos and death that followed, and they didnât remove it.
The only reason Ariella found out was because they had gotten a notice from the streaming service that their channel had been suspended due to content containing extreme violence, gore and material of other obscene natures. After that Ariella thought that was it. Their livestream source of revenue was a bust and nothing more.
Except someone had saved the recording and started posting it elsewhere. Karen had informed her of this, and it was going viral. Various social platforms posting the video. Hundreds of thousands of views. She had no idea how to handle this. The most she could do was send an email and click the report button.
What else could she do?
Honestly.
She had no experience in this kind of thing. Zeri and Emilia too.
It was like she was on a ship, watching it being pulled towards a storm, yet unable to do anything but watch.
That was provided the ship actually reached the storm.
Ariella was starting to wonder whether Entepott could last the week. Zeri and Emilia. They had both been on edge for a while now. She figured it was the stress of working here. She always knew that it was a potential problem, but a part of her was hoping the two would be able to endure it, yet it was clear that this was not the case.
Zeri had been looking increasingly frustrated around the Shit Rats, and it was clear that the harsh words from visiting Fluffy activists had really been getting to Emilia. She honestly should have expected this. Tensions leading to disputes. In the end, Zeri and Emilia did have opposing views towards Fluffies, and she honestly should have had a talk with the two. It was just that they were all so busy, but that really wasnât a valid excuse.
A part of her just hoped the two would get over their differences and endure it. Internalize the pain and forget about it, like she did in all her other jobs. What did her past bosses say?
No pain. No gain.
If you have time to whine, you have time to work.
Endure because the future is bright.
God, she was becoming just like them. She left the workforce because of all that bull crap and she was slowly ending just like them. It was all bull shit, and a part of her was tempted to just tell Zeri and Emilia to quit. It seemed Entepott was fucked, no need for Zeri and Emilia to get anymore stress out of it. However, a small part of her still held out hope. A hope that Entepott could succeed.
She really had no idea what to do.
Knock knock knock.
âCome inâ Ariella said politely, as she removed her headphones and turned off the music player.
Zeri entered with a small frown.
âI washed up bossâ Zeri stated, as she sat down.
âYeah⌠Thanks. Now then letâs talk about the stuff earlierâ.
The look on Zeriâs face said it all. Regret and embarrassment.
âLook boss, I⌠I just wanna apologize ab-â
âSave it Ze, we all got angry days, I just wanna know whatâs up. Whatâs going on with you?â
Zeri shrugged.
âI⌠uh⌠I donât know boss, itâs just⌠ughh! I donât knowâ
âIs it the Shit Rats, are they becoming too much? Because if it is, maybe we can try to find some way to deal with itâ
Zeri nodded, but then suddenly shook her head.
âItâs not the Shit Rats⌠well it kind of is⌠but not really. God! I hate this. I hate feeling like thisâ.
âTalk to me, Zeâ
âBoss, you donât get it. I lost⌠I lost my mojoâ
âMojo?! What mojo?â
âLike my energy. Hurting Shit Rats isnât⌠yâknow fun anymore. Itâs justâŚâ
Zeri scratched her head in frustration.
âI⌠Itâs like I keep thinking about her, everytime I hurt them and it just ruins my moodâ
âWho?â
âHer⌠yâknow Tarâ.
Ariella looked at Zeri with surprise. She didnât expect that name.
âTar, as in the Pleasure Fluffy Tar?â Ariella asked.
Zeri nodded.
âItâs like⌠itâs like sometimes Iâm hurting these Shit Rats and the only thing I can think of is Tar. Like how none of these Shit Rats are like Tar, and then it just makes me feel so mad, because like theyâre all so whiny and Tar would have taken this all in stride, and⌠See! Itâs like I keep doing this! My head keeps thinking about Tar and how sheâs so much better than all of them, and⌠UGH!â
Zeri scratches her head in frustration again, and Ariella gives her a concerned look, as she tried to figure out what was going on with her friend.
âHow much do you think about Tar?â
âHuh? I donât know⌠uh⌠a couple of times a day, I guess. Like⌠uh⌠actually yeah. Everytime I kill those Shit Rats in the kitchen, like I always think about Tar and just get so angryâ.
âZe⌠I think you feel bad for Tarâ
âHuh!? Why would I feel bad!? Tar was dangerous. We had to put her down, and⌠andâŚâ
Zeri paused.
She had a grim look on her face, and she looked down.
She was staring at her hand.
âSometimes, when I hold the knife⌠I can still feel it. That feeling of pushing the knife onto Tarâs head. I⌠I hate itâ.
Ariella gave Zeri a small nod with a sympathetic smile.
âYeah. I can imagineâ.
Zeri stayed silent. She was looking at her hand and it was clear she was deep in thought. Ariella waited patiently, with a friendly smile. Eventually Zeri looked at her with a frown.
âI thinkâŚWell⌠uh⌠I guess. Well actually yeah I think⌠I⌠Iâm beginning to understand your whole thing about Good Fluffies⌠Your and Emiliaâ.
âOh yeah?â
âItâs just I look at these Shit Rats and their many, many, MANY problems and then it just makes me think, these little turd vermins got to live happy little lives in nice homes with those stupid Hugboxers⌠no offenseâŚâ
âNone takenâ
â⌠And then you got Tar. Like a sex doll for some fucked up guy. Some lady who didnât want her, and then Entepott. Like three days and we put her down, and even after how shitty her fucking life is, she⌠she tells me that sheâs happy to be put down because she⌠she deserves it?! Like⌠ugh! I fucking hate itâ.
Ariella nodded in agreement.
âTell me about it, all those Shit Rats coming from great homes. They take it for granted and end up here, meanwhile you got nice Fluffies out there being tormented all their lives. Itâs not fair to say the leastâ.
Zeri nodded slightly.
âItâs fucked up what I did to Tarâ.
âWhat WE didâ Ariella clarified âIâm just as responsible for Tar as you are. I should have gotten Tar used to the ranking system before letting her join the Monday orientations. I was the one who led her to the guillotine, all you did was pull the leverâ.
Zeri looked at Ariella with surprise, then smirked slightly as she looked down with sorrowful eyes.
âItâs still fucked upâ.
âI know Ze⌠But thatâs life, and⌠yeahâŚâ
The two women went silent. Neither knew what to say. They just stared at the desk silently.
âWhat are we gonna do about that Tar video?â Zeri asked.
Ariella smirked âI honestly have no clue. Any ideas?â
âNope, but Iâll be honest. Whatâs the worst that can happen, more Fluffy lovers come knocking? Hey! Maybe itâll work out in our favor. Fluffy lovers thinking this place is too dangerous for the Good Fluffies and adoptingâ.
Ariella laughed. That would indeed be great news. Itâd be nice to think that the video would motivate a bunch of people to adopt all the Good Fluffies in Entepott. Maybe she could think of shutting down Entepott after that. Got all the Good Fluffies good homes and then going out with a bang. That would be ideal, but they lived far from an ideal world.
Knock knock knock.
âCome inâ Ariella stated calmly.
It was Emilia. She looked worried and as she eyed Zeri, she looked away with a face of guilt.
âYou wanted to talk to me?â She asked.
âYeah, I just wanted to know if you two are free tonight. Iâm thinking⌠Pizza party on Entepott rooftop sound cool?â
Emilia and Zeri both looked surprised, before both quickly grinning.
âCHEERS!â
Ariella, Zeri and Emilia clinked their bottles of beers, as they stared at the night time sky.
They were on the roof of Entepott Fluffy Shelter, celebrating⌠Something. Anything. Being alive.
âDid you see the face of the installation guy, he thought we were going to kill each other?â
âHey I donât blame him, I seriously thought you two were going to kill each otherâ.
The three women laughed, as they chugged down their beers, then Ariella made a relieved sigh, as she laid back on her seat.
After figuring out what was going on with Zeri, it was easy to resolve any disputes with Emilia. After all, Zeri was mainly getting angry on Tarâs behalf, something Emilia could sympathize with. Once that became clear, it was easy to talk about the other problems. Mainly it was just the Shit Rats and the Fluffy lovers. The effects of their words.
âThat guy was really weird thoughâ Emilia suddenly said.
âWhat the installation guy?â Zeri asked.
âNo, not him. The guy who bought like 10 Shit Ratsâ
âOh⌠that guy. What was his name again? Brad? Lad?â
âChadâ Ariella interjected âChad Lapposki, I think heâs got his own operation going onâ
âBut like why Shit Rats, wouldnât he prefer Good Fluffies?â Emilia asked.
âHey, maybe heâs running a Shit Rat fighting ringâ Zeri responded.
âProbably something like that⌠I⌠itâs a weird order, but I really do hope he comes back. Even if he only wants Shit Rats, the money is goodâ.
âStill doesnât serve our Good Fluffy problemâ Emilia exclaimed with a frustrated sigh.
âHey! No more work talk!â Zeri stated âI have to deal with Fluffies ten hours a day, I donât want to be hearing about them anymore in my off hours!â
The three woman laughed as they downed another set of beers. The mood felt much lighter compared to earlier and the alcohol certainly helped all three loosen up.
âWhat made you decide to run a Fluffy shelter?â Zeri suddenly asked.
âI thought you didnât want to talk about Fluffies anymore?â Emilia retorted.
Zeri snorted with a grin âAyo, I ainât asking about Fluffies. Iâm asking about bossâ.
Ariella grinned and looked up at the sky. Why did she want to run a shelter?
âI guess⌠cause theyâre cute?â
âPfft for real!? I think puppies and kittens are cuter, why didnât you run a shelter for them?â
Ariella smirked. She had to agree. Puppies and kittens were indeed cuter, so why Fluffies?
âI think Ella and I had a very different impression of Fluffies back thenâ Emilia stated âMaybe more whatâs the word⌠rose-tinted?â
Ariella nodded in agreement. Entepott had certainly changed her views of Fluffies, but how did she see Fluffies before? It had been so long now that she couldnât remember. Were there always this many Shit Rats, she remembered there were a lot more ferals back then, but she didnât see how that would have inspired to run her own shelter.
She snapped her fingers.
She remembered the reason why.
âThere was this kid⌠In the old shelter I used to work in. Yeah that was it! Little girl with a cute Fluffy⌠uh⌠Alicorn, I think⌠Yeah it was an AlicornâŚâ
Ariella snapped her fingers, as she tried to recall the moment.
â⌠I think it had something to do with moving. No Fluffy allowed kind of place⌠I think. Oh! But the crying! That I remembered. Kid and her Fluffy were definitely close. Her parents practically had to pry the Fluffy from the kid. I remembered what the kid asked me too. Please make sure she gets a nice new home⌠Fuck I canât even remember the Fluffyâs nameâ.
Ariella looked at the night sky, trying to recall the name of the Fluffy, as Zeri and Emilia looked at each other with confusion.
âWhat happened to the Fluffy?â Zeri asked.
âIt got killedâŚâ
âHuh?!?â Emilia exclaimed in horror.
â⌠Yeah. I know. There was a fuck up. Someone put the Alicorn with a bunch of Fluffies, and by the time any of us realized it, the Alicorn was long dead. Stomped to death. Fuck that was sight, and it was literally the same day the kid told me to find her Fluffy a nice new home⌠Godâ.
âThatâs shitâ Zeri commented.
âYeah⌠I remember I was so angry with the shelter. It was poorly managed. Shit system. No one could keep track of any of the Fluffies and shit like this was common. Yeah that was it! The management was so shit and I think⌠yeah. I remembered I was telling myself that I could make my own shelter. One where kids could be assured that their Fluffies would be safeâ.
Ariella frowned as she looked at the moon. She had long forgotten about that dream. Managing Entepott under the Happy Hugbox fund. All those Shit Rats. It really got to her, and somewhere along the way, she had forgotten about that. Now it was all about finding Good Fluffies good homes. Was that better or worse?
Thinking about it now, it was laughable how she hated the management. She was doing no better with her own system, and in fact they were actually probably the same as Entepott, doing what they could to survive. She was just so angry back then. It was stupid. She was stupid. She had to wonder if they were still running. Were they doing good? Ariella got out her phone with the intent of looking up the shelter, but she noticed the guilty look on Emiliaâs face.
âIâm sorry Ellaâ Emilia suddenly stated.
Ariella looked at her with a mix of confusion and worry.
âSorry about what?â
âItâs just⌠that story about the Alicorn. Someone probably made a mistake and put the Alicorn in the wrong pen by accident, and⌠I⌠I⌠well technically itâs my fault that Entepott lost the Happy Hugbox funding, because I was the one who put Rocket in the playroom with those two foalsâ.
Rocket. That was a name Ariella hadnât heard in a while. That little foal fucker. Thatâs right. Entepott lost its funding because the shelter was suspected of breeding enfie foals.
âEm, are you serious?â Ariella asked in disbelief.
Emilia nodded with guilt âIt was a m-â
âNah I ainât talking about Rocket, I mean do you seriously believe that was your fault?!?â
âHuh!?â
âYeah!â Zeri interjected âHow can you blame yourself when that horny motherfucker, sorry⌠foal fucker, was the one to rape those foals?â
âBut I put them in the same playpenâ.
âYeah, and Fluffies rape foals all the time. Thereâs a reason we already coined a name for them. Babbeh enfers and foal fuckers⌠wait is that why you stayed in Entepott? Because you thought it was all your fault that we lost the Hugbox funding?!â
Emilia nodded, and Ariella put her hand on her forehead in disbelief.
âGod Em. Itâs not your fault. It never was⌠I mean if I have to blame anyone, itâd be that shit bag inspector⌠fuck what was his name again?â
âMayerâ Emilia responded.
âYeah actually if weâre playing the blame game, my moneyâs on Mayerâ Zeri interjected âLike the dude was seriously an idiot. He cut the funding for Entepott because of two raped foals, and like honestly if this place was run by anyone other than us three, Iâm pretty sure that Entepott would be gone and all those Fluffies would be deadâ.
Ariella grinned slightly from the compliment before nodding with agreement.
âZeâs right, Em. This Mayer guy was out of touch, but itâs not just his fault. The Hugbox cut our funding without question. They just took his word for it. No second review. No chance for us to plead our case⌠Itâs idiotic honestlyâ.
âYou know I really think Mayer was an abuserâ Zeri suddenly stated.
âHuh?â Ariella exclaimed in confusion.
âI mean think about it. He comes to our shelter all batshit crazy. Remember he kept spouting his whole spiel about how these shelters were his Fluffy bastions, yet somehow he became an inspector and the Happy Shitbox fund listens to his stuff without question, like how does that work, unlessâŚâ
âYes?â
â⌠Well what if heâs actually super normal or competent or whatever. Like he acts all crazy in the shelters so no one takes him seriously, but when he talks to the Shitbox fund heâs all professional and shitâ.
âUh⌠but why?â Emilia asked.
âSo he can shut down Hugbox shelters, like think about it. Maybe he gets a few Hugbox shelters that are secretly abusing Fluffies to increase his reputation, then afterwards he starts going after real Hugbox sheltersâ.
âOkay⌠but again, why?â
âLess Hugbox shelters means less decent places for Fluffies to go. People start sending them to neutral and abuse, where Fluffies get put down all the timeâ.
Ariella and Emilia looked at each other in disbelief. It was like listening to one of those tinfoil hat people talking about the government being run by Lizard People (When itâs actually Bird People). Then Ariella grinned.
âBe honest. Before Entepott, were you planning to do that?â Ariella asked Zeri.
Zeri grinned âNah I didnât have that idea before⌠but if I did, I might have had done it⌠before Entepott⌠Maybe⌠DefinitelyâŚâ
Ariella and Emilia both shot Zeri disapproving stares, as Zeri raised her hands in innocence.
â⌠Hey! That was before Entepott. I realize now itâs not all fun and games. People get hurt too. I get that now, and Good Fluffies as well⌠I get thatâ
âGood!â Emilia stated firmly, before bursting into a grin.
Ariella smiled as well, as she looked at Zeri.
âYou know you never told us your story. You know why I decided to run Entepott and you know why Em stuck around, but what about you Ze? Whatâs a girl like you doing working at a Fluffy shelter?â
âHuh? Just cause Iâm a rich bitch doesnât mean Iâm abnormal. Iâm a normal person like you and Em. I have dreams⌠of working at a min wage Fluffy shelterâ.
Ariella grinned. Rich bitch. That was a nickname she hadnât said in a while.
âCut the crap, rich bitchâ Emilia retorted âTell us the truthâ
Ariella and Zeri stared at each other with surprise, before breaking into grins.
âYou drunk, Em?â Zeri asked with a grin.
âNuuuuuâ Emilia slurred in response.
Emilia suddenly gave Zeri a kiss on the cheek, before resting her head on Zeriâs shoulder.
âIâm sorry for calling you a rich bitchâ Emilia said in a soft slurred tone.
Zeri grinned, as Ariella burst into laughter. Three beers and she was already like this. She needed to get Emilia drinking more. For her safety. Some boys could easily take advantage of that. She looked at Zeri, who still had a smile, but it became a little more serious, when Zeri looked down.
âI used to really be⌠Well a rich. Bitchâ Zeri admitted âReally shitty, spoiled kidâ
âOh?â Ariella responded.
âYeah. You know. Those rich kids who thought they were the top of the hierarchy kind of shit. I used to look down on other people all the timeâ.
âOh⌠What changed?â
âMy dad used to be like that as well. Rich dick who thought he was better than everyone, but my grandpa was a farmer. My grandma was the one who had the Lucuques name. Their whole marriage was scandalous apparently, but point was my grandpa knew what it was like to be poor and when he saw what my dad was becoming, he sent my dad back to our hometown to work on the family farm. Earn you living, humbling kind of stuff. My dad did the same to meâ.
Ariella let out a low whistle.
âHow long did you work at the farm?â
âCouple of years. Roughly three. Stayed under the care of an old woman. I called her BĂłchim⌠I think it means third grandaunt or something, but yeah mean, cranky old lady, but she had a good heart. The kind you hate at first, but you grow to love HA HA⌠ha⌠She really set me straight. Good old hard work and a lot of that tough love. Helped me stop being a rich shitâ.
Ariella rested on her chair staring at the sky with a smile.
âOh! But that doesnât explain what brought you here. I can see why you ainât like many of those rich kids I see online, but why work in a Fluffy shelter, especially since you hate Fluffies?â
âItâs part of the humble package I guess. Gramps did the same for dad. After we came back from the farm, we both got a year to⌠well dad said itâs finding out who I really am before learning the family businessâ.
âAhh like go overseas with friends? That kind of thingsâ
âNah. I⌠I donât have any⌠well real friends⌠I thought I did, but turns out I wasnât that nice of a person to hang out with and they only stuck around because I had the moneyâ.
Ariella looked at another cloud, staying silent.
âYou have us, right?â Emilia suddenly asked âWeâre friends, right?â
Zeri looked at Emilia in surprise, the girl still resting her on Zeriâs shoulder with her eyes closed, but her smile gave away that she was very much conscious.
âYeah I suppose I do, donât Iâ
Ariella grinned, playfully punching Zeriâs shoulder, while Emilia tapped her head light on Zeriâs other shoulder, then Emilia suddenly sat up right, putting a finger on her chin.
âI still donât get it though, like hating Shit Rats I understand, but whatâs the appeal of hurting them?
Zeri shrugged, then looked up deep in thought.
âI think⌠well I guess for me⌠back before Entepott, Shit Rats just reminded me of my old self. So I guess⌠it was like kind of destroying the old me, I dunno⌠honestly I did it because its just felt fun. Theyâre whiny entitled shits and I feel great fucking with them hehâ
Zeri chuckled to herself as Emilia made a cute pout.
âNot all Fluffies are whiny entitled shits yâknowâ Emilia retorted âLike maybe only⌠ninety percent of themâ
âEh yo, now she gets itâ Zeri said with a grin âCheers to that!â
Another clink of bottles, as all three women took a swig. They stared at the sky with contented smiles, before Ariella suddenly stood up.
âI gotta take a leak, put another bottle in the ice box for me will ya. Donât kill each you twoâ
âAye boss!â Emilia stated
Zeri grinned as she put another bottle of beer in the box full of ice, watching as Ariella left the roof. Emilia suddenly ambushed with a soft hug.
âHey whatâs that for?â Zeri asked in jest
âIâm gonaa miss yuuu when yur gun gurrlâ Emilia slurred
Zeri grinned, as she hugged Emilia back âIâm gonna miss you too gurlâ
This wasnât bad. Getting a hug from a cute girl. A nice incentive for working in Entepott, and Zeri found herself enjoying the embrace.
âYou love Ella donât you?â Emilia suddenly asked
Zeri broke away from the hug looking at Emilia with surprise, but smirking.
âWas it really that obvious?â
âKinda⌠Iâve seen the way you looked at her sometimesâ
âDamn⌠Donât tell herâ
âWhy not? Sheâs singleâ
âYeah and sheâs straight. As straight as rulerâ
âYou sure?â
âYeah Em. Iâve talked to her about her kind of guy. Those macho, manly lumberjack kind of guys. Big bushy beards, hairy chests and muscular. Boss is one hundred and two percent straight with a two percent chance of errorâ.
Emilia nodded with a sympathetic look.
âSo what are you gonna do?â
âWhat do you mean?! Same as always. Ignore it. Just cause I have feeling for her doesnât mean that Iâm gonna bring them up. Workplace etiquette and besides you know how boss is. She always gotta act responsible and shit, gonna start guilt tripping herself into thinking that she needs to reciprocate my feelings in some way and I donât want thatâ
Emilia and Zeri both sat back down .
An awkward silence prevailed as they looked at the city.
âYou into girls?â Emilia asked.
âUh⌠I think both, buuut maybe less towards guys. You?â
âIdk havenât really put much thought into itâ
âNo guy friends to pique your curiosity?â
âNo friends. None here at leastâ.
âOh? You ainât from here?â
âNah. Iâm from up north. Brookshire countyâ
âFarm town, right? Figured you for a farm girl with how well you skinned the Shit Ratsâ.
âYeah, dad wanted me to learn survival skills so he taught me how to hunt and skinâ.
âSo howâd you end up here?â
âI wanted more to life than being another farm girlâ.
âSo you ended up working in a Fluffy shelter?!?â
Emilia smirked, as she playfully punched Zeriâs shoulder.
âI wanted to see what the city life was like. Worked my ass and saved enough to rent a place here and get a jobâ.
âAnd you decided to work in a Fluffy shelter?â
Emilia shrugged.
âMy cousins had a bunch of them farm Fluffies. Cute lilâ critters helped around a lot. I kind of thought most Fluffies would be the same, so when I heard about Entepott and this whole thing about being a Hugbox shelter, I was really excited to join⌠It certainly hit like a sack of bricks when I saw what a lot of Fluffies were likeâ.
âThink it was worth it? Moving from the farm to here?â
Emilia didnât answer immediately. She stared out at the big city, staring at the gorgeous nightlife glowing amidst the dark backdrop of the sky. Then she smiled.
âDefinitely. It ainât what I imagined, but I donât regret coming here and I donât regret working at Entepott. Not one bit. I love the Good Fluffies. Every single one of them. Oakley, Coco, Sunflower, Petal, Noodle, Buggie, Reeses, Hip Hop, Wimpy, Mustard, Tanner, Nanna, Tar, Sprout, Avocado, Clover, Ash, Wasabi, Pan-â
âItâs insane how you can remember all their names at the top of your headâ.
âWell⌠to be fair, weâve been working them closely for a couple of months now and with what theyâre doing at Entepott
âEntepott helpers yeah, but well⌠I guess it just how much you love them huhâ
Emilia smiled but shook her.
âThose are only the ones whoâve been here for a long time. There are so many names I donât remember, and Iâm talking about the Good Fluffies. You donât actually need to memorize their names. Theyâll tell you constantly⌠Itâs refreshing. No hidden agendas. No ill intents. Good Fluffies wear their hearts on their sleeves, itâs crazy that Shit Rats are supposedly the same species honestlyâ.
âYeahâŚâ
âYou never did say why you wanted to work in Entepott yâknowâ.
âOh? You were listeningâ.
âYeah. From what it sounds, technically youâre a farm girl too yâknowâ
âHah! Yeah, guess I amâ
Another silence as Zeri stared at a falcon doing a flip in the sky. Oh wait that was just a scrap of paper.
âWas it because of Ella?â Emilia suddenly asked
Zeri smirked, keeping silent as she thought about it, then she shook her head before changing her mind and nodding.
âI suppose it is, but not in the way youâre thinking. I didnât join because I had a crush on her if thatâs what your saying, itâs just⌠well I liked her system. Iâve been to a couple of Fluffy shelters. All Hugbox and their all a mess, and I thought Entepott would be the same, but it was not, it was a little more organized and Ariella⌠well she looked like a stand up kind of gal, and when she decided to run Entepott without any fund help, I respected her so much, because she just remind me of BĂłchimâ.
âThe lady from the farm?â
âYeah⌠BĂłchim and boss really were the same. They both had dreams and they both wanted to do it their own way. BĂłchim always wanted to run her own kindergarten. She could have asked us for the money but she didnât want to depend on the Lucques name. She wanted to save and raise the money to make her own kindergartenâ.
âWas she able to do it?â
âNah. Life got in the way. She canât move much now. Has to sit down a lot and other health stuff. Near impossible to focus on her dream⌠I guess⌠well I guess thatâs why I wanted to see Entepott succeed, because BĂłchim is kind of like boss, and helping boss realize her dream, well I guess it feels like Iâm helping BĂłchimâ.
âIâll be honest. Itâs kind of weird that you have feelings for a woman that reminds you of your⌠third grandaunt?â
Zeri looked at the city with a deadpan look, before turning to Emilia who had a cheeky grin.
âYouâŚ. Oh my god. I didnât even think about it like that until.. Oh my god!â
Emilia bursted out laughing, as Ariella came in with a smile.
âYou two looking like youâre having a good time. What were you talking about?â
âSorryâ Emilia responded âPrivate stuff. Girl talkâ
âHey Iâm a girl tooâ Ariella retorted, picking up a cold beer from the ice box.
âOh yeah! Then cheers! To the three GIRLS running Entepottâ
Zeri grinned.
Another clink of glasses, before all three chug down their beers.
Refreshed sighs as all three laughed. The stress from earlier today now nothing more than a fleeting memory, but as Zeri stared at the two, she felt a pit form in her stomach. She looked at the two with a loving smile, but a part of her knew that it was soon going to end.
It was coming.
The end of her free year.
The end of her fun times with boss and Em.
The end of her time at Entepott Fluffy Shelter.
I know there are readers who donât like it when I put too much focus on the human characters in my stories, but Iâm just gonna have to ask you to deal with it.
I love writing about people as more than just one note characters.
