Spider Monkey

Khonnie Kounbandith

I imagine jungles congested with thin silk to capture any oblivious creature struggling, refusing to give their lives to an arachnid who refuses mercy despite critters begging for a second chance

the trap quivers under the weight of the silent predator

awaiting a miracle, a fly shuts its eyes refusing to watch its life drain into another when the shocking sound of “ouh!” forces one eye open just a few centimeters from its face

a white-masked monkey

the fly sighs with relief... monkeys eat bugs — in this case, spiders

as if hearing her thoughts, the monkey smiles revealing fangs of Dracula

happily, spider-monkey shreaks and unwraps like a banana the skin of his winged prey
