Grief Transcends Species

On November 9th, my oldest rat, Taterington Van Helsing the Vampire Slayer died.  It is far from the first time I experienced the death of a rat, but, as I always do, I went catatonic. On December 5th, I gave a speech about trying to help one of my other rats, Tofu through that grief, while grieving myself. 

A friend recorded it and sent it to me. I transcribed and illustrated it. This is the end result. It's about 6 pages.
