It was a warm brisk Autumn afternoon. You had finally finished with work (you are a busy business woman in NY, after all). You were constantly looking at your email while walking, but you knew your route home by heart now. You always went to your normal subway stop near your building, got on the A train and got off on stop 4. Walk to 18th street and you're good. But today was different. Today wasn't like those normal days, where you would unwind from work by reading a book in your apartment. Something was off, and you could feel it. You got that feeling first when your Assistant messed up your usual Coffee order, which he never does. And you got that feeling again when you realized you Continued on typing strange at Work. Today was off.
Aware of the bad feelings you got from today, you continued your usual route to get home. You stepped onto the A train, looking at your email. You had you bag from work in your hand, as well. You got on the train quickly, and continued to scroll through your emails when the Train started. You stumbled, quickly realizing that you forgot to grab on. How could I have forgot that? Something is wrong with me today, You thought to yourself. You quickly fell to the floor, scrambling to pick up your bag, to remain professional. When you went to grab your bag, a brown hand was already picking it up. When you looked up, it was an Old looking Gorilla. He had a long white beard and glasses. He also had a Cane keeping him stable. He Winked into the distance, "bet you didn't expect that, huh?" Who is he talking to?
You quickly get up and grab the bag from him, and nod. "thank you.", You replied. He grumbled back: "this is the one nice thing i do, and all she does is say thanks? ugh." You look at over at him with a puzzled expression. He looks at you directly. "i know you heard that. appreciate me more. i mean the audience even thinks that's mean." He looks out to the distance once again, "right?"
Again, What? The Audience? Who is he talking to? You nod and respond to his strange comments. "I'm very sorry but I'm on a tight schedule." You briskly walk to a seat farther away from the strange man.You open up your bag to a banana, and begin to peel it. This Strange Interaction has made you quite hungry. I hope my stop is coming up soon, You think to yourself. Suddenly the Strange gorilla is next to your again. You turn your head to look at him, but he's just looking at your banana. "hey so i smelled you had a banana. i would love it if you could give it to me." You were getting tired of him now. "Why should I give you it? I'm having a bad day." You yank the banana away from him, and put it in your other hand where he can't get it. "ok but i would love that banana SO much more than you, plus ur kinda stinky so i want it" The man said. You Sighed. Honestly, I can just wait until I get home. You hand the banana over to him, and he looks ecstatic. You didn't know if this was even humanly possible, but he devoured the banana In One bite. Then again, He was a Gorilla.
"thanks 4 the banana you classic hallmark movie lady. i'm cranky kong by the way." He puts out his hand, and you shake it. "I'm Y/N" You break the hand shake and sit in silence next to Cranky for a while. "so do u have any more bananas in that bag?" Cranky said, breaking the silence. You shook your head. Cranky grumbled. "dang well i've got like a million bananas at my house. what kinda loser only keeps 1 banana in their bag." You looked at him. Most normal people only keep one banana on them? "I'm sure you do." You say, trying to dismiss him. Cranky shakes his head. "yes i do! you can come and see em if u want. i mean it's kinda messy. but if u make a mean comment about my mess i will literally snap ur neck and steal all of ur DK coins" Coming over to his house? A gorilla you've only known for 10 minutes? Sounds Shady. But you were looking for something to spice up your boring buisness life. You nodded. "Oh to hell with it. Sure. I'll come over."
Cranky grumbled. "well i didn't think u would say yes. dang now i gotta clean up a bit. peepeepoopoo." Cranky talked to himself for a little while, but you had a question looming in your mind. You broke his mumbling with your question: "So where do you Live, anyways?" He is a Gorilla, I can't imagine he would live in the city. Wait, is that monkeyist? Who cares. "i live in a cabin in the woods, silly! it's got a cool rocking chair in the front, and a LOT of bananas in the inside." You look back at Cranky, puzzled. "The woods? There aren't any woods near New York, though.." Is he just delusional? Did I agree to go to an Old Man's Imaginary House in the Woods? Oh Boy.. Cranky cracked a smile. "here. i'll show you."
Cranky suddenly got up and walked over to the door connecting to the conductor's room. What Is he doing? He donked the glass on the door with his cane a few times, and suddenly the outside windows of the subway looked strange. Outside looked like.. a purple portal? And it seemed you were moving fast. You Clutched to your seat, bracing for Impact. This is how I Die, isn't it? With some old weird Gorilla? Suddenly you felt like the subway dropped down, and you peer out the window. What?! You were in a thick jungle, With Birds and Bananas Everywhere. He wasn't lying. But how did he do this? Cranky responded as if he was reading your mind: "magic. i mean the readers don't really care though." Cranky then started waddling to the door of the train, which was cracked open. "come on ya stinker. half of my bananas are rotting just waiting for your stanky butt" You reluctantly followed.
When you walked out, You saw a small Cabin before you. He wasn't lying. It had a huge sign that said 'Cranky's Cabin' and a Nintendo Sign on the front. You walked up the steps, glancing at the rocking chair on the porch. Cranky grunted. "i sit there for fun but my stanky grandkongs always bother me for advice on their missions. sometimes donkey and diddy get on my nerves." You follow Cranky inside, at which on the inside he had barrels of bananas out. "Wow.. You weren't lying!" You said, in amazement. He had 'DK" plastered on the walls every now and then, as well as another Nintendo sign. He also had an arcade machine. You walked over to hit, at which cranky hit you with his cane. Ow! Why did he do that?
"that's for my complete donkey kong playthroughs. don't touch it or else i'll eat all off your banana coins, loser." He sounded genuine. You stepped away. Cranky looked back at you. "well that's about it. there isnt much to my lame house. if you wanted you could move in with me and yell about how stupid the players are and kill donkey kong occasionally." Move in with Cranky? You have such a busy life though... but you have been craving more. Every day you get more and more tired with your same routine and work. You nod your head. "Yeah, I think I will." Cranky grumbled. "cool. well i gotta install a new bed." he waddled off, but before he left you had an urgent question. "Hey, why were You in the City?" You asked, and Cranky looked off for a bit. "none of your buisness, you walmart looking anime girl." Cranky then walked off away from sight. You could get used to this free Life-Style. But Why was he in the City? I guess that will forever be a mystery.
