The Shenanigans of Gorilla Ben and a Hottie Named Rosie

Vol. 1

Closing Chapter…

With an endless night of searching, Ben found the human male’s hiding place.

No one stole Rosie. No one.

He’d skin the human alive and toss him off a cliff screaming for kidnapping her. He’d never understand the human men. This one had fallen victim to Rosie’s smile and thus thought he would kidnap her and claim her as his own.

No one claimed Rosie. Rose couldn’t be claimed. Gorilla Ben wasn’t exactly sure what claiming meant exactly, but he knew it wasn’t right, nor was it fair.

She was a human. A female. She deserved her chance to be heard, but the human male hadn’t listened when she had said no. He had hit Ben over the head and pried her from his fur. Even disgruntled, he heard her screams, and it fueled his rage.

No one made Rosie mad or hurt. No one.

Rosie was his treasured human friend. Thinking of her defenseless and alone, Gorilla Ben became enraged and his body quadrupled in size so that when he came up to the house, he could no longer fit in the door. Just when he started smashing his fists against the roof, Rosie stepped out with a puffy eye and smiled. “I’m fine.”

Only she wasn’t. Her face was bruised. Ben scooped her up in one hand and started smashing his other fist into the house. It crumbled and gave way to his giant hand and it was only when he looked inside the giant hole his fist made, that he saw his friend Rosie was right, she was fine.

The human man lay naked and unconscious on the floor. His face looked worse than hers. He felt her weight move in his hand and turned his head to see her peeking over into the house. “Is he alive?”

“Should I finish him?” His voice was disgruntled.

She laughed at him. “Hopefully, he’s learned his lesson. Women are not to be stolen or messed with.” He reached in to grab the human male, anyway. “No, Ben, you can’t.” She tipped her chin forward. “You need to calm down. You’re scaring the town.”

He turned around and saw all the townspeople cowering or peeking out their windows to stare or point at him. He looked at his ginormous body. “I don’t like when people make you sad, Rosie.” And as he spoke, his body began to shrink back to his normal size. She no longer fit in his hand and hopped onto the ground. “I don’t like humans.”

“I’m human,” she told him.

He shook his head. “You’re Rosie, you don’t count.”

“Let’s go back to our beach. This place is boring.”

He liked that idea. “Just Rosie and Ben are best.”

“You’re right, my friend. Always the best.”

Only when they arrived at their beach, it was overrun with monkeys. Rosie couldn’t understand these monkeys, but Ben could, and he had no idea what to do when they all started bending forward and calling him their lord.

“Rosie?”

“Yeah?”

“What’s a lord?”
