JOY MONKEY! 🐒 | Act I alternative boss torment. #427
Description
The monkey is inside us all.
" I had goals. My aspirations and dreams were set in front of me. And I was determined to achieve them, but then the abomination came. The monkey had wrapped itself around my brain. I could hear its cymbals ring loudly through my head. It controlled my every action. It was a parasite that I could never get rid of. It was time to waste every second of my life slaving away for the monkey, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. "
