Ideal for: dog lovers
Job specifications: The Plague has swept through
Europe, and the experts have declared that it’s due to the bewitched cats
who have cursed the city. The verdict is to kill them (much to the delight
of the real culprits, the rats). Your job is to get a big stick and pummel
the kitties to death. You’ll get scratched, of course, assuming you can get
your hands on these notoriously agile creatures. Scurry through the alleys
and follow them up trees and into the sewers. At the end of the day, clean
your murder weapon - er, productivity tool - of any remaining cat entrails
and brain matter.
Drawbacks: The screeches of cats being bludgeoned to death will make your
skin crawl. Then there’s the small problem of bits of bones getting caught
in your hair, and your skin being covered by blood and other suspicious
greyish green liquids.
Perks: It’s one of the few jobs you’ll find during the Bubonic Plague,
where massive death and destruction has slowed all industry to a halt.
Manage your time well, and you can moonlight as a body inspector.
