Mysterious Objects part 1 Story&Sketch

Story:

Around 5:15 am the tired maintenance worker was called in for an early shift, to check the controls on the track. He had to arrive early before any trains were present. Only his 2nd week on the job, the other workers would tease him about the legend of “The Rat Man.” They said a part human-part rat lurked in the tunnels late at night. He assumed that this was all part of rookie hazing. The city had not put much money into the upkeep of the station, so there was not much light inside. The budget for the station was so low, that there was only one security camera and it was outside on the actual station. Just before he reached the control panel that stood immediately before the dark tunnel, he heard the squeal of rats. He had never heard so many rats together in one area. Out of pure curiosity, he shined his flashlight down to the tracks. The rats dispersed at the sight of the light; the worker immediately dropped to his knees at the sight of a pool of blood covering the tracks. There was no animal or body in sight. Just a pool of blood large enough to fill up a bathtub and foot prints heading into the dark tunnel. He immediately dropped his flashlight ran out of the tunnel to call the police.
