"You are never more than six feet from a rat" factoid actually statistical error. Average person is over 18ft away from a rat. Kym Deyn, who lives in a rat nest, and keeps putting cute little rat bambinos in her mouth, is a statistical error adn should not have been counted.
They say you are never more than six feet away from a rat at any point but I often *feel* more than six feet away from my closest rat, who is very emotionally distant.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

Did this with Alan Garner last year, I can highly recommend
in 2026 instead of lore-diving whatever giant franchise benefits from your engagement try doing it with any writer/director with a substantial body of work but no “fandom”. Marie Ndiaye. Maryse Conde. Samuel Fuller. See where it gets you. If you gotta have a static setting do Mervyn Peake
