I am a young freshman in college in New York City! I live in an apartment high rise.
      
      My landlord is nice to me, though I could have sworn he was one of my HS teachers when I first met him.
      
      My name is Clara Stevens.
      
      one day, on my way home from school i see a man, but when i approach him a cloud of green yellow smoke surrounds me, the smell of it reminds me of rotten eggs!
      
      i get home and find a big load of garbage in the hallway, "does not anybody know what a garbage chute is for?" i grab the trash and go to the garbage room on this floor. This is the seventh time this week i have had to clean up after the other people!
      
      last Monday i was in my school when i saw a familiar man..... i followed him only to find a pile of trash, it stunk like rotten eggs!
      when i threw it away a mist arose from the dumpster
      .
      Finally,I reached the trash room. It was dark and scary, like on Tuesday, when I was in the club and chased a strange man into the alleyway...there were tons of dumpsters filled to the brim, then a vent poured a strange mist towards me. It smelled bad.
      
      
      looking for the light switch i had to wander around in a dark maze as the plumbing echoed like those church bells on Wednesday....
      
      i had just finished lunch when i saw that man again in the church tower!
      i chased after him, what did he want? i reached the top, hes not here? then a cold calculating voice spoke to me."i hope you find it. What do you seek?" i speak the a little scared " I want to know why you follow me. what do you want? whats with the gas and all that garbage?"
      " it is not i that you seek, and i seek not you my dear.... for you see we are both puppets of the same drama, it is unfolding around us as we speak!" he vanishes the in a cloud of gas, the smell knocks me out... when i came to rick was holding a bag of garbage.
      
      when I turned the lights on music started to play like on Thursday at the dinner.
      rick and i order a couple of sodas and the water looks familiar.....
      When Rick drinks his, he becomes violently ill and barfs all over me. It stunk like rotten eggs.
      
      
      i do not know but i think somebody is trying to pull some major conspiracy on me...
      like the government, but i went to city hall on Friday...
      
      We finally were let in to see the mayor. He looked so familiar. I could not get over it.
      When I walked towards him, I tripped and fell into the garbage bags.
      
      Then, obviously, yesterday when i met Rick at the park, he introduced me to his old friend.
      i could have swore i saw him before. but the car broke down and i had to ride in the back of a garbage truck with all the trash!
      
      s***, it was a conspiracy!
      
      But, why did I come here? My hands were empty. "To throw the garbage away!"
      
      But, I had no ...unless, yes, that's it! There was no garbage in Rick's hands, it was my hand. I did not fall into garbage at the mayor's, they were pictures of me! Yes, I saw it now. "I AM the garbage!" I came here to throw myself away!
      
      
      
      i open the garbage chute, and i get this strange desire or longing. "I want to go down the garbage chute!!!" I want to go down where i belong, i can hardly wait!
      mmmmm the smells of dead fish, rotten eggs and decaying filth make my mouth water!
      Licking my lips, i gently insert my self into the mouth of the chute.
      i crawl further into the dirty opening, and gravity takes over!
      
      i slowly begin to descend, the slimy goo on the walls covers my clothes as i get closer and closer to the wonders of the garbage pit!
      the smell getting fouler and more horrible as i descend, mmm i breath them in deeply and love them.
      
      
      I'm literally drooling and licking my greedy chops as the horrid and tantalizing smells of several hundred tons of wet, slimy rotting garbage tease me. Ooh I'm getting sooo hungry, but it's just out of reach!
      
      "Oh yes, yes , come to Me! Mmmmmm I'm soooo, so close!"
      
      I can barely contain myself! I want it, I want it NOW! OOO yes the smells are delightfully foull! mmm why didnt i throw myself into the garbage sooner, mmmm this is wonderfull. I trully deserve this, my sweet sweet reward mmmm,Visions of old, festering garbage dancing in my head as the vile smells tease my nose, making me drool in delight.
      
      Ten times more powerful than a dead skunk, the smells were, and yet I found myself salivating at all the succulent images of rancid slop that they brought to my mind.
      
      I wanted this, I definitely wanted what awaited me down there. I had chosen, of my own free will, to plummet down this horrible, foul-smelling, disgusting tunnel of pure filth. I had no regrets, I loved this, the anticipation was killing me! What gloriously foul rotten wonders are in store for me?
      
      This was the best day in my life! I had been a very good little girl and this was my reward! Soon, I would be filled with pleasure as I became one with all the horrible, rotten filth! This was going to be absolutely amazing!
      
      Finally, after so long I landed face first into a soft wet mountain of slop with a gooey splat! then I started to sink into the stinking marsh.
      The whole place was dank; there was slime everywhere, and foull nasty raw sewage poured out of pipes on top of it all. It was wet, filthy and warm. I had landed in warm coffee filters with the grounds still in them. They were old, wet, and had green mold on them, I was neck deep in this intencely foul smelling vulguar filth I loved it!!!. Then slimy, rotten fish showered me. This felt wonderful! This place was just crawling with diseases and germs. I could see places with maggots; it smelled horrible! In fact, there's all kinds of rich, vibrant smells! I immediately began wolfing down on this. Bliss filled my whole body. This was paradise! It was more than ripe down here. Yes i trully do belong here.
      
      The stench is out of this world! speaking with my mouth full, while chewing and putting more in, "Mmmm, ripe moldy coffee; seven months old! Yummy, rotting fish heads, mmm." BUUURP "Mouth watering old dirty diapers filled with baby gravy!" CHOMP "Mmmm, yummy year-old spoiled milk with tons of delicious, rotten eggs!!" chomp, chew chew, belch, fart! "Scrumptious, maggot-infested, black, slimy, rancid beef, and, over here, lettuce, tomatoes, boiled cabbage, moldy hamburgers. Yummy and sloppy, runny green bean mush!" I slurp, swallow and muscle down all the slimy banana peels, tossed leftovers, like mounds of ripe, moldy spaghetti and vomit! There's all kinds of horrible, rotting slop down here! I eat and eat and eat, 'til i feel I'm gonna burst! "Man, I'm stuffed!" BUUUURRRPP! I pat my bloated belly and I'm now completely covered from head to toe in muck. The smells down here were truly something else! But, I loved that about my new home.
      
      It made me feal peaceful and relaxed, like I belonged here! I was right, I did belong here! After all, I am garbage! Licking my lips, I fall asleep, dreaming about all the succulent trash I had feasted on.
      
      Garbage tastes so horrible and rotten, ten times worse than it smells, mmm, but that's why I love eating the stuff! It tastes horrible, yes, but I truly find the flavor to be oddly pleasing, soothing. It even makes me want to eat more and more with each bite!
      
      When I awaken, I discover that during the night a nice new load of slop has been dumped for me to enjoy! But, i decide to wait five months before eating it; I want it nice and rotten when I sink my greedy teeth into that foul slop! But, I wonder where all this wonderful rotten crap and sewage go pluss I'm very parched!
      
      Then, I remember that the garbage pit drains into the sewer! I open a door on the wall and, lo and behold, a wonderland of filth and scum! Jackpot, baby! The rich fragrance of raw sewage begins to tantalise me. I then dive head first into the deep, warm,
      sickly thick waters. I start slurping up sewage and can taste all kinds of horrible and wonderful things!
      
      "Mmmmm, theres so much poo. It's thick and creamy! Then there's all the sour, foamy piss! Wow, so this is what it's like to suck down all of New York's excrement! This is nice, I can really get used to this. So sinfully good. Oh, how horrible, there's all kinds of toxic waste and chemicals!
      
      "It really adds so much to something already amazingly foul!" I spoke to myself as I often do when I am happy! This was the life!
      This was what i had been looking for! Not him, not the man, but my own freedom, my own bliss! I had found it i had become true, living garbage. I was just seeking a way to throw myself away, but not from life, from not enjoying it. And, now i was. I did enjoy myself fully and completly. I finally, after years of searching, had come home!
      
      That night, after stuffing my face with the sweetest and most sickening slop I could find, I fell into a pleasant slumber! I had wonderful dreams of garbage and slop!
      
      I awake to find that there are several people around me. They're strange, mouse-like people; one of them seems familiar...
      
      But, then I see my boyfriend, Rick. He has nice, dirty brown fur, large round mouse ears, green eyes, a long smooth tail. He's wearing his usual torn white tee-shirt, s*** and other slop all over it, and has his blonde hair spiked. He's not wearing any pants, undies, socks or shoes, though!
      
      It's not usual for a rat to do so!
      
      I get out of my pile of slop that I was asleep in and grab my favorite blue jacket, toss it on loosely, making sure to still be as nude as possible. I look at my beautiful self in my bedroom mirror; long black hair, smooth auburn fur perfectly covered in slop and gross slime, long sexy tail, My eyes are yellow with green pupils!
      
      I then wave bye to my dad, a face I'll never forget. And, I'm off!
      
      "Bye, my sweet Shade," he says with a sweet smile.
      
      I have to catch the morning sewer currents if my boyfriend and I are to get to Shade High School on time. Today is the start of my senior year.
      
      Back at the house, my father opens a drawer and grabs a newspaper.
      
      The date is one year ago...
      
      it reads:
      
      
      Opening day of school tragedy!
      Police baffled to escaped convicts motives.
      Among the dead are Shade Rose and her fiance Rick Weber.
      Mayor Rose was devastated at his daughter's loss.
      
      
      He puts the paper down, a tear in his eyes. "My daughter, I've finally found you. You're home!"
      
      The end
