Not only this but the cages themselves were covered in rust. The experimenters would sever the spinal nerves of the monkeys causing them to lose the…

It was a dark and dreary night, a man springs out from behind a wall, he flips and kicks around the luminous streets to get to his next victim. A congenial man, Mr. King, runs from the terror of the streets. Mr. King outwits this irrepressible man and Mr. King makes his way back to his 6 story Mansion in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Asleep he fell as the sun rose. He awoke to the ring of his iphone 7. A text he deciphered from a government used code. This text meant that work was calling and it…
