Widow's Life Savings Chewed Up By Rats is one of the newspaper articles in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Text
Myrtle Snodgrass awoke one January night recently and moved softly from the bedside to the fireplace which had succumbed to embers. She heard a sound unlike that of the cows baying in the distance, her hound Jesse prancing in his sleep, or the wind through the chimney as the fire burned down. The sound was one of chewing. The widow had spent long days and nights in her home, with an eerie fascination in the dead silence of the night as it is punctured by the howl of a distant coyote or owl.
For years the widow had collected her fortune, a vocal skeptic of banks and their frequent failings. Her bank notes were always squirreled away, far from the prying eyes of friends or family. As she searched her home for the source of the sounds, she, full of dread, lifted the floorboard where she had stored her years of earnings, only to find a rat's nest, made cozy with the chewed up remains of her savings, a total of $250 in bank notes and bonds.
