Monkey Dream

We were helping my dad and uncle with something in the back of the truck in the 
backyard. The yard was full if weeds and grass. So you could not see what was 
hiding and waiting.

My uncle just got done telling everyone to watch out for the monkeys. He didn't tell 
us they were monkey people however. I had my back turned not paying any 
attention to the grass.

Out popped a boy and girl monkey people. They scared the holy crap out of me. At 
first they didn't come at me right away, so i let my guard down. And turned around, 
went back to what i was previously doing. The next thing i feel a horrible pain on my 
shoulder, saw blood run down my arm. In a split second i was one of them.

Some other humans came started spitting on us. I'm in shock because im a monkey 
person and getting spit on.

One man told us why He said "Only a immune persons spit can change you back. 
Then he went on to tell us what he meant by immune person. Immune person is 
someone who was turned into a monkey person and turned back to human. Only 
their spit can change you back."
