Today CJ is coming over. (Barring a disaster such as a Zombie
Apocalypse) Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Going Nuts vs
Going Bananas
The two
craziest animals in the animal kingdom could easily be narrowed down
to Sally Squirrel and Monty Monkey. And according to the fellow
animals in their species they really didn't have a screw loose in the
traditional sense. They both could be called insane from intense
greed.
Animals, much like people(who are truly animals themselves), would
go after what they want but still hide for safety when it gets a
little too dangerous. Not Sally or Monty. Sally went nuts for all the
nuts she could grab and Monty went bananas for all the bananas he
could grab. Luck saved them from all the risks they would take as
they leaped and reached for all the food in their respective
habitats. The same kind of luck that saved a a greedy poker player
who put all his money on the line no matter how bad a hand he had.
Again and again luck saved the two animals. Whatever nature god
decided to give their souls such wretched greed decided to bless them
with luck. Sally kept going nuts and Monty kept going bananas.
Sally's forest habitat and Monty's jungle habitat crossover at a
peculiar spot on globe. The two animals ran through the wilderness at
this point and nearly rammed right into each other.
“Watch where you're going monkey!” Sally shouted as she flicked
her gray furry tail.
The monkey whipped his brown tail in response, “Oh, don't talk
tough you little rodent!”
Both animals held little patience for each other as their greed had
not been satisfied recently and they still felt a crazy.
“Whatever.” Sally shrugged obnoxiously. “I'm going to climb up
this tree.”
Monty howled in response and jumped around. “No, no, no! I saw
this tree first. It's why I nearly ran into you!”
Sally puffed up her cheeks as if she jammed them with a million nuts
and used all that air for a massive yell. “NO! MY TREE!”
“You nutty squirrel!”
“Oh, shut up! You're nothing but a monkey going bananas!”
Monty went after Sally but she outmaneuvered him. Both animals were
crazy and quick. Neither could make contact. For about a good hour
they tussled without ever landing a blow despite the fact that Monty
tried to get the squirrel in a headlock and Sally tried to gut the
monkey with her teeth.
Eventually they both collapsed from exhaustion against the tree next
to each other.
“Stupid monkey.”
“Stupid squirrel.”
They looked at each other for a good five minutes. Then finally
nodded at each other.
“So split the spoils of the tree fifty-fifty?” Monty put words
to their nod.
“Yeah, fifty-fifty.”
An apple then fell from the tree.
They both groaned and said, “I hate apples...”
