Adjustment

Bobo woke up. Even though he didn't have to get up early, he still did. And the song played in an endless loop in his head. Over and over. Getting laid off from being an organ grinder monkey was harder than he thought.

Not that his new job was any better. When he answered the ad, he was excited about a place with more structure, and less children.

Now in the morning, when the researchers came back and stuck another needle in his swollen infection, he kinda missed simply being on a leash.

I like the downplayed humor in this. It provides a nice foil for the grim realities of joblessness and jabbing needles. Poor monkey.

"more structure" is a great way to cast a positive light on being a test subject.
