Lies that are true

a short story that's a very preachy morality play or whatever you want to call it... I'm not really fond of these stories because they're...well... Preachy... I'm more fond of the sort where, if there's any morals to be taught, it's done in an ironic way...Sorta like with Ray Bradbury... now THAT is writing.This is Grade B High school shit...

Plus the website is cool: Lies that are true. So gimme a break here.. From the page: "But they're gone. The monkeys are all long gone, killed off by a coincidence.
