The flow of this story was technically excellent, and I really enjoyed the unfamiliar POV. I think that Ksthrak/Ksthrata's (the name appears to switch halfway through?) unfamiliarity with their situation both helped and hurt the story, however - it would have been nice to have the events clear to the reader even if they weren't clear to the character. After rereading a few times, I'm still unsure of the reasoning behind any of the rat's and human's actions, and unsure in a way that leaves me dissatisfied rather than curious.
