A few months ago before any of my adventures began I was a banker just a boring sad life banker but then that day happened when a red balloon broke in and started threatening our staff members so I grabbed a dart and popped it then a ninja kiwi jumped out of a portal and shoved me into a car that flew he asked me to command the balloon assassination resistance b.a.r and I said yes because I was drunk of course so he drugged me and took me into a world where the dart monkeys lived so I reliased as I passed levels I unlocked new towers by ranking up I also realised that using different towers unlocks upgrades for them and makes them more powerful when I passed round 1 they said it was easy peasy but warned me it gets a lot harder during my journey I unlocked tack shooter and super monkey and upgraded them soon I was fully geared out and ready for the z.o.m.g so I took him on with two temple gods and rays of doom from the dartling gun soon enough the z.o.m.g was dead and I was going insane this couldn’t be seriously happening a monkey holding a mini gun that fires darts out of it how is this possible this cant be real…but wait its not real this must be a dream I have to be dreaming so I begged myself to wake up over and over as I began to be floating through space with stars all around me I was officially insane I was insane and I knew it that’s how I knew I was insane and I was going to die eventually it was just a matter of time but I didn’t give up I kept fighting refusing to believe I was going to die refusing to believe this was real I needed to wake up…and as I ran down the hallways screaming for help but its too late I was already did and as everything went black I had a flashback on my life….it was very very short it was too short I should have lived longer than 23
