Being Jumped Into Preneanderthal Gang
At least I was clothed when I arrived I think
The rest of them are not
Neanderthals or pre-Neanderthals? They communicate with grunts
Whistle, burps, farts.
I wish I was kidding.
I am serious.
I motion that I would like some of their meat.
One of them slams me on the ground.
They take turns kicking and punching me.
Am I being jumped into their gang?
Or are they tenderizing me?
I do not stay long to find out.
I sneak out that night and survive on berries and flower buds.
Until I accidentally taste the wrong mushroom.
