Monkeying Around

You throw off your over-sized clothes (keeping the tie, though: you never know when it might come in handy), scoop up your wallet, set it between your teeth, and set off on all fours down the sidewalk.

Two blocks down, you pass a large, sweaty man, weeding in his garden.

"afferooon," you garble through your wallet.

"Afternoon," he responds, squinting slightly as he looks up at you. He blinks a few times, shrugs, then bends back to his work.

A block later, you find yourself in the vast parking lot of the "Big T" shopping center. Broad, orange-rimmed signs advertise the various stores: "Pete's Barber", "Ye Olde Gun Shoppe", "Skateboard and Bike", and "Hollywood Video". A Safeway thrusts out from the rest of the structure, dominating the parking lot with its overpowering presence. On your right, you observe a pitiful old lady struggling valiantly to shove an oversized plastic shopping bag into the back seat of her Subaru.
