Che Guevara and the monkey


This is a bit from my novel, Heavenly Hash:
A faded picture of Ché Guevara was nailed to the wall.  Next to Ché hung a dartboard sporting only two darts.  The third dart left the building in the buttocks of a spider monkey.  The poor little guy made the mistake of wandering in through an open window one afternoon.  The dart was probably only a few yards into the jungle but Koko Joe had never bothered to look for it.  And the monkey had never come back.
The book starts in the South American jungle but is actually about a batch of marijuana-laced chocolate and a candy factory in the United States.
