Frank and Earnest - Day 5
“Okay preachers, back to them monkeys.”
This seem to break Frank out of his coma, for he turned and faced the boy directly.
“What about the monkeys, boy?”
“I was looking at a magazine the other day. You know, one of those that have those naked black gals in them.”
“National Geographic?”
“That might have been it. Don’t know for sure.
“Well, inside, there was some pictures of monkey bones just laying on the ground. Guess some tiger or lion ate it. Don’t know.”
Tommie looked directly into Earnest’s eyes.
“You saying we came from those same monkeys?”
Earnest began to answer, but was interrupted by the click of the hammer being pulled back on Tommie’s pistol. Earnest just starred into the barrel. Two seconds later, the shot rang out.
