| My name is Kevin Shaughnessy
and I love monkeys. It’s that time of year again, Halloween,
and it’s time to decide what type of monkey I’m
going to be. As much as I love to be subtle monkeys, I don’t
get a very enthusiastic response when people ask me what I
am and I tell them “I’m a Hamadryas monkey, but
you may know me better as a baboon” or “I’m
a Patas monkey, and you probably didn’t realize I do
not display the obvious dominance hierarchy seen in many other
primate species.” I’d have to say most people
thought my coolest costume was when I wore a gladiator outfit
over a gorilla suit and swung a light saber around in the
air screaming, “Who dares challenge the Ape King of
Damascus, Lord Henderson?!” Everyone really liked
it even though I doubt anyone knew Lord Henderson is the
primary character in a “What if….?” novel
I am writing and hope to publish on the web. What if…
apes rose to power during the Macedonian Era using light
sabers somehow? My name is Kevin Shaughnessy and I love
monkeys. And Star Wars.
