“Up until then, I had always been frightened of the world, always on edge and afraid the things outside might hurt me in the slightest of ways. "A pussy," as Travis would call it.” InspirationalFunnyLife And LivingDark HumorFiction Novel Book:Mad Monkeys: A darkly funny backpacking novel Source: Mad Monkeys: A darkly funny backpacking novel
“Once Jonas and Sara had gone to bed, Hannah and I found ourselves leaning in closer with every conversation. She was wonderful, and this became clearer with each passing minute. Around two in the morning, I put my arm around her. It just felt like the right thing to do. Not long after, our lips met for the first time. We were now sailing on open waters, surrounded by nothing but sea. Far in the distance, a great thunderstorm was lighting up the night sky. Our feet dangled off the edge of the steering room balcony as we rode toward the stormy horizon. At that moment, it was just us. With the rest of the world fast asleep, we stood on top of the world, at the edge of everything. It was in this fleeting moment that two lost souls found one another.” LoveLonelinessTravelFiction Novel Book:Mad Monkeys: A darkly funny backpacking novel Source: Mad Monkeys: A darkly funny backpacking novel
“Ah, come on, dude!” I said, taking a long swig from my bottle. “There must be something! Something that you do differently from all those other schmucks—like myself—out there.” “Alright, alright, hold your horses! You wanna hear the actual secret? The simple truth that everybody wants to know? The thing that’s right in front of your nose but hardly anyone sees?” John looked around as if to make sure nobody was eavesdropping, but there was no one around. He leaned in to whisper something in my ear. “Alright. Now, listen very closely…” It got awfully quiet as I eagerly waited for the answer. John squinted his eyes. Then, he ripped a huge fart. One that was so loud it could have been a serious contender for the Guinness World Records, if they had a category for fart volume (turns out they do). The thing even smelled the part. “God damn it, you asshole!” And we couldn’t stop laughing.” InspirationalSuccessTravelDark HumorFiction Novel Book:Mad Monkeys: A darkly funny backpacking novel Source: Mad Monkeys: A darkly funny backpacking novel
