Gorillas in the Mist

"you're like a female version
of the silverback gorilla,"
her friend said to
her one morning.

"hm. is that a good thing?"
she asked with a grin.

"absolutely!" her friend replied.
"because it means that you're a strong
leader, you dig your veggies, and people
trust and like you."

"however, if anyone hurts
your troop, they're toast!"
she finished.

"whoa." she said.
"cool."

"yep," her friend said,
"and it's always good to have
a silverback gorilla on your
side in the wild and untamed
world of the paper jungle."
