That’s the first time I’d seen his face. When I turned, he was just about two feet from me. I’m not sure what he had in mind, but I can tell you this: All the blood rushed out of my face and neck. He is obviously the most foul and evil creature I’ve ever seen – even for a sock monkey.
I realized there was very little I could do. They’re a protected species, you know. So I told him I’d get his snack in a couple minutes. Meantime, I’d leave him out of the cage if he’d just promise to stay in THIS ROOM. (He swore he would.)
