You are at a low-budget jungle themed holiday camp, staying there for a week. The facilities look incredibly worn out, everything covered in tacky decor. For some reason they have a tame live Chimpanzee wandering the reception hall and dining area. You don't know why you aren't more freaked out by this, but then again you never really were about animals before.
The first few days of your stay are uneventful. It isn't until night time that things start to get strange. You are woken up by the sound of a monkey shrieking. It sounds crazed. Maybe it is attacking someone?! You quickly grab your weapon and rush into the room where you see a group of people huddled around one of the rooms door. They seem to be screaming as well, but not from fear. Their screams are filled with anger!
"What's going on?!" One of them shouts.
You can see the Chimpanzee has gotten into a guest room and started raiding the hotel tea and coffee supplies. It was holding onto an electric kettle that it managed to completely rip out of the wall socket.
The group doesn't waste anytime and start chasing the creature out of the room, slamming the door shut. But it wasn't enough! You hear the shrieks of the monkey outside as it is smashing its body into the door, trying to get in.
"Where is the hotel staff?" one guy screams from inside the room.
"They abandoned us to this monster!" Another guy screams.
You quickly see what is going on. The hotel has trapped itself into a Josie the Karnivore Billabong Monkey. This particular species of monkey is extremely destructive and will quickly swarm and occupy any property it sees fit.You slap yourself in the face. In the confusion of a rabid screaming ape and trying not to get bitten, you came up with a really illogical explanation for it all. How stupid of you. Apes do not rampage for no reason. They are much too intelligent for that. It's human behavior.You realize you're going to have to step in and save the day, but you're scared out of your mind.It's still clutching the electric kettle, which has the entire wall socket and bits of wall cement dangling from it. You're worried it might get the idea to use it as a projectile. Before you can ponder your next move, the guys inside have come up with one for you.
"Kick the monkey in the shitter!" One of them shouts.
You don't even need to think about it. You agree completely and rush to do so, but the damage is done.Kicking the creature in the backside was a bad idea. Chimpanzees are very agile. They can backflip without breaking a sweat. He contorts his whole ape body and sinks his terrible canines into your boot. You feel his fangs pierce your skin. It isn't as bad as it sounds: the monkey's teeth are covered with a tough outer covering of enamel. If you had been properly bitten, you'd be shredded. Thankfully you're not. Still, you're dying.
"It's biting me!" You yell out, hoping someone is finally coming to rescue you. "Call someone!"
"Kick its teeth in!" Someone else shouts, this time it is the guy who called for the kick.
That's when you know, hope and pray they know what the hell they're doing.You plant your foot in the chimp's maw.Just as you're about to chokeslam the beast, a resort security guard turns into the corridor after hearing the dreadful noises.
"Shit!" He yells, grabbing his gun from his side.
The guard aims his weapon and fires, but the shot goes wild. You're left hanging from the chimps jaws, still kicking. The creature manages to swing you overhead once, before letting you fall to the ground.
"Why's Michael attacking you people?" he shouts, his hand shaking violently while trying to aim the tiny pistol. The man looks like he is on the verge of tears and may even start screaming at any moment.
