“Thank you so much.”
“No problem,” he said. “Now just lay low, and I’ll see you tonight.” Then he went back to the house.
As soon as he was gone, I knew immediately where I wanted to go. Riding on the local bus the other day, I had noticed a large brick building marked “Orem Public Library.” Read the rest of the story »

Hey, that is great writing (I’ve finally bookmarked it). I’ve read a bit of Jane Goodall and seen her documentaries, and been fascinated with her lifelong dedication in this field. She’s an extraordinary human being. But don’t forget, the “natural man” in us is “only” some 99.4% (the genetic origins we share with chimps). Maybe if they could “gain” that 0.6%, they’d invent religion and start killing one another for a “higher purpose”. In the next life, I want to be a chimpanzee, and specifically the Bonobo species. 🙂
Thanks Ray!!!
Yeah, I love studying about primates too!!! (See my blog posts on the subject… 😉 )
The conclusion?!?! I really wanted to keep hearing this kid’s story. I hope there will be more at some point…
Thanks Belaja!!!
LOL, worry not!!!
Actually, this segment (even though it’s part 5) was the very last segment that I wrote. I wrote it to establish the back-story for Joe, who’s a main character in Temple Wedding and Orem High, and also to introduce Spencer, who’s the star of Bordeaux Mission. 😀
Oh, OK. Yay!
Think Deseret Book would be willing to publish you?
lol, well they would if they had any taste. 😉
