"We humans fear the beast within the wolf because we do not understand the beast within ourselves." ― Gerald HausmanMr. Towry, the brilliant protagonist of this Sci Fi short, who also happens to be a chimp, has a dilemma. He is troubled by an antagonist whose repeated stopovers into his unusual life are an unstoppable force of nature.  How he chooses to deal with this is a lesson Homo sapiens should take note of, and  when finding oneself in a similar situation apply the old adage "singe qui voit, singe qui fait", rather than fight the inevitable tooth and nail to the bitter end.GREAT Short Story.I believe this is too short to sell as a stand alone story and would be better sold only in a volume of shorts. While greatly entertaining, ninety-nine cents seems a bit to ask for so few words.  As a result, I removed one point for the brevity of this story sold as is.I would sincerely like to see this author entertain the idea of publishing an entire volume of shorts.
