we are rid of the monkeys and apes, they were the worst threat because of their strength and ability to clime so well, as well as the fact that they travelled in packs and were so intelligent. I swear that if they had found a cash of guns, they would of learned how to use them on us. They had already become good at setting ambushes, and were figuring out how to avoid our traps.”
TT, “they sat behind those cages for years studying us, and had a good reason to hate all humans. At first people thought they were cute, climbing around the buildings and swinging from the power lines, until they started to tear people apart and eat them. Most never saw the documentaries about them hunting one another and eating the flesh, and even more never knew how strong they really were.”
I said, “you remember the time a chimpanzee got close enough to yank on my arm so hard that it dislocated my shoulder.”
TT, “you were lucky to have gotten away from that grope, and I took care of you until you were able to fight again.”
I said, “I’m still grateful for that, and the new weapons you gave me.”
TT, “you’re not the kind of man that will blow off a clip without hitting a lot, that’s why I trusted you with the machineguns and 9mm pistols you now have. Those old black powder guns you had were just not enough firepower for someone so important to me.”
I said, “I still carry one as a first choice, when not using the crossbow, so I don’t waste the ammo.”
TT, “and you are very good with that samurai sword you carry. Is it true you found that one in a stash that was in one of the basement vaults of the museum?”
I said, “yes, I traded in the sword I had for this one. The plaque said it was a five head sword that belonged to a great warrior, and it came with the short one as well, that was said to have been used for his suicide.”
TT, “they must both be sharp enough to split a hair in midair.”
I said, “I take good care of them, no one can make them like this anymore, and the rest were all taken by the first raiders.”
TT, “yes, gems and fine works of art were the first things to go, even though most of it has no value anymore. Even my collection does not have anything as nice as that one, and if it did I would give it to you to use. It’s better to be in the hands of someone that can put it to good use than in a vault or hanging on a wall. And talking about putting things to good use, I’ve made arrangements with Laurence the goat man to give you and Brandy all the milk from one of his best. We want to make sure your wife is in good shape to keep nursing that baby.” I said, “I appreciate that, and so shall she when I get home.”
TT, “well then don’t let me delay you any farther, get home to that family of yours and give them my best.”
I said, “I’ll do that, right after I pick up some milk for them. Thank you again, and I’ll see you later.”
I them headed out to the roof and took the zip lineto the next building. It still scared some people to travel this way, but because of using them so much, I was accustom to checking their condition as I traveled around the city. Often I would make repairs myself, and even run new lines from one place to another. Like the way people once ran lines to have the telegraph, then phone service, we were building a network of transportation in the sky. It took less time to do it this way than to build secure halls from one building to the other, but we were doing that as well for things that were too heavy for the lines. And most of the gatherers would tie a rope on something, then just take to the air from place to place, and haul the big stuff down the road until it got where they wanted it. Staying off the ground as much as possible was the best way to stay alive. And even though a line may be used a dozen times a day, you never knew how well the last person looked it over or abused it. Often a line would come lose or brake altogether, sending a body for a
