I Hate Drunk Monkeys - The Novelette

Premise: A career-sabotaged actor with a weird hairdo and a liberated research monkey throw it right back as the career-wrecking paparazzi everyone wants to kill. The Novelette: Prologue Chapters 1 - 5. Told in the first person by Rip Honeyman, a failed and bitter ex-actor, we follow him and his fetish for supermarket sex, memory-loss-inducing binges, desert motels and the Salton Sea. There, overwhelmed by the tumult of setting up for the next clusterfuck, his own demons take over aided in no small part by a find of obscure tropical mineral salts. And we ain't even seen the Monkey. Yet. The first of three.
