The Power Monkeys

“What did you see John?” The reporter asked.

“I saw thousands of them. They were leaping from tree branch to tree branch. It was as though they were chanting as they got stronger and stronger. They went from one town to another terrorizing the people,” John explained.

Trembling in fear he saw hundreds of them headed in their direction.

“Run!”

He and the reporter were the only ones close enough as everyone else stood by watching from a distance in a nearby town.

Keisha grabbed her camera. It was as though the monkeys were receiving some form of divine power. They were filled with energy. Pummeling through the small town. One of the Monkeys smashed through a kerosene store window and pretty soon the entire town began to burn. People were running in fear and no one could figure out what caused these monkeys to just snap. It got so wild that one of them jumped inside of a running abandoned car and started running people over. The rage was obvious, but no one could figure out why these monkeys were so upset. Emergency sirens began to go off. 

“They came from the East and there’s more on the way, we’re going to need weapons,” John said to Keisha.

In the distance as they both hide in a nearby store, you could hear windows smashing and people screaming while running for their lives. 

“Why were we not prepared for this? Why are these monkeys so angry?” John asked as Keisha frantically searched for something to fight off the monkeys with. He noticed an old man hiding under the store counter.

“My gun is in the basement,” he said while taking notice of John, but it was too late, in a matter of seconds the monkeys came smashing through the window and ransacked the small store.

Hiding in fear, John could see them dragging the old man from underneath the counter. Massively outnumbered, it was not too long before they overtook him and Keisha.

They came like a thief in the night and destroyed the entire town and everyone in it. 

They were powerful and their strength came in numbers.

This alone gave them power.

They were the Power Monkeys and nothing could stop them. It was their time.
