Mystery of The Missing Monkey
Who cares where Waldo is, I'm more concerned over where Andre is! He was hanging around the bar, like usual, the last time I was in, but it's been about a week. He was supposed to post some resolutions for us to make fun of and tear apart two days ago. (Actually he has someone else take care of the posting, but still.)

Even though he can be a bit crude at times, he's a likable fellow and his absence has me wondering if something didn't happen to him. I mean, he does pilfer bananas from the grocery store quite often, maybe they got wise and set a trap for him. Or, it could be the gas station down the street. The one he frequents to appropriate toilet paper from the men's room.

It may even be, but I hope not, that he started taking some of the resolutions seriously. What if he decided to go for a hike everyday? Did anyone explain to him how this works? Andre may have decided to walk a couple of miles each day without knowing he is supposed to walk back! By now, he could be miles and miles away.

Then again, he may just be down in the basement checking the banana rum, or exploring some of the tunnels. There are some strange and atrocious stories and rumors of those tunnels and they are dangerous to man and beast monkey!

Just as likely, he may have left a note for Richard ~ Typing Left Handed , who is not available right now, to post the resolutions, then descended to the basement to check on his swill rum and, after sampling various, and numerous, barrels of banana rum, wandered over to the room Wordsmitty ✍️ bunks in and passed out.

I reckon time alone will solve the mystery of the missing monkey.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
