Ingle

    On the planet of primates, all were alike. Except one.

    there was a simian who was different from the rest ,in a way that most who are different would sympathize with. He had an extraordinary mind. This simian intellectual spoke of education and fellowship.  He spoke many times of a concept that he called “private property”, where every simian would own mechanical rights to everything in his possession that was acquired through labor.
    He also clothed himself in different color garments (not just the customary red) and added strips and bits of cloth and string to his fur. Most  people were sorely tired of hearing his crazy words. Others thought him a “soft mind” and entertained his nonsense talk.
    They were barely ever disgusted by his progressive thoughts. This  was because the apes, baboons, chimpanzees and orangutans had never in their existence held on to any item after they were done using it. They had no reference for property rights, or any rights for that matter. Then there was ingle.

    Ingle was the son of a magistrate of the higher chamber of matters. (This was his mother. His father died at the battle of hevnina. Fighting against the association of Uwu, the independent nation of baboons).Ingle was in his 17th life cycle, still un-related to any female and was in no hurry to do so.
      Ingle had went through his rage early and killed his younger brother during an especially violent episode of rage while they jumped tree at the common ground.  The young simian felt not at all well afterwards with the doctors and his father telling him that he did nothing wrong. It was the way his father told him not to fret so much that pierced his being as he added; “ingle, we’ll just make another one your mother and I. you’ll see he will be stronger than ayebull. Don’t worry, now you’re fully grown”. He was constantly ostracized because of this and because he had a fascination with the gods.

     The gods were individuals of the race who were connected to the source. “The source” was the binding energy that kept all atoms connected to true-life. True life was the physical plane of existence. “No life” was the life that was lived after death as  you get absorbed right back into the source. The Gods spent their time  tapping into their energies and pushing the boundaries of self life movement by” seering”. Seering was a state of deep concentration where the gods would be asleep but awake. Half in true life and half in no life. This allowed the gods to perform feats of physical plane self assisted manipulation , while studying the sky for signs of life on other planets. On the planet of monkeys, the other  six planets in the system were visible at all times. Some at night, some during the day. Sunna, munna, turkina, vetna, tersta, frivida, the other six. All were visible from saturnia, the planet of the apes.

    Life on saturnia was a daily conference of sameness meeting with nothingness. Laws were never changed and there was no such thing as private property. Everything belonged to the devil. The devil was the supreme appointee and ruled over the whole planet and all of its races and tribes. This appointee simultaneously allowed and forbid wars between the races. The boons and apes might be enemies one cycle and be allies the next with no reason  to anyone but the devil. Once a cycle, a family was selected from the tribe that had given the least tribute to the devil, this family was then to be butchered on the rock of air and their remains to be burned. The ashes were then to be spread over the rock in order to stave off the end of the world which was sure to come without this blood and ash sacrifice.

    Ingle was a student at Goren, quite possibly the best school in the colony. Students of the Goren wore uniforms and were expected to serve two cycles in the defense force after graduation. Members of the board of trustees were the closest thing to a nobility on saturnia. Most  members of the association of aips (apes) sent their children to the Goren. The application process involves tests of physical strength as well as those of mental dexterity. Because more than 80% of saturnians were illiterate, graduation almost guaranteed membership to the chamber of matters. From then on, trainees were expected to dutifully advance on to the higher chamber where communication with the devil was direct, without intercession by the fathers (tribal priests).

    Ingle only had a few friends at school, most of the students were drones who murmured and repeated nonsensical quips while hardly ever establishing true relationships. Except for the courting, the other males never showed any enthusiasm. The courting ritual was an integral part of growing into adulthood and establishing a firm foothold in the monkey society. At or around the 14th life cycle (varied by race) the females start to release “the smell”.  The males would go through rage and it was not uncommon for those in rage to kill.
