The Dead Man's Skull: Comrade Monke

He lit a cigar and stood in front of the large desk, as if he had all the time in the world. He analyzed it and figured out everything. One wrong move and the world would be blown to bits. He walked up to it, took out his Makarov pistol, and shot the green button.


This triggered the alarm and the self-destruction countdown, but the nuke control system had been destroyed and deactivated. Guards entered from left and right. He hid behind the desk and a gun battle followed. He shot a couple of them down, but he ran out of bullets. He hid his gun and saw a window, he ran towards it and jumped out of it, breaking it.


He landed deep in the water, but he swam to the surface.


The place was falling apart! He swam back down and kept swimming until he saw a sloop yacht. He climbed onto it and the woman on it freaked out.


-”You’re… a monkey. A God-damn monkey!” she shouted.


-”Delighted to meet you too… The name’s Monke… Comrade Monke.”


-”Oh my God… I think I am gonna pass out.”


-”Don’t! Not yet, at least. I need you to give me a ride home!”


-”Where’s ‘home’?”


-”Russia. Soviet Russia.”


After a few days of travelling, they reached the USSR. He gave her some money to thank her, and she left.


Monke immediately went back to the Kremlin, where the offices of the Soviet secret service were, to report.


-”Mission accomplished, Chief!”


-”Well don’t get too excited. I have another mission for you!”


-”What is it?”


-”An old shipwreck was discovered close to our motherland. Go to the ship -or what’s left of it- and search it for any clues as to who it belonged to and whether there’s anything valuable on it.”


-”Off to it sir!”


Monke wasted no time. He went to his home, fed his domestic canary pet bird, prayed a rosary, and quickly left to go see the shipwreck.

He arrived at the shipwreck. He put on his scuba suit, and jumped into the water with a lot of enthusiasm.


The ship was very old, probably from the golden age of piracy.


He entered the ship through a large hole that was probably created by a cannonball. He saw some skeletons, as well as a weird skull. Chains were wrapped around the skull. When Monke was about to grab it, the skeletons came to life!


Monke freaked out. He broke the chains using his super strength and took the skull. He swam out quickly and reached his boat. He then quickly moved away and travelled back to Moscow.


He gave the skull to the “chief” and the “chief” was delighted.


-”Good job… Monke… This shall be used for the good of the motherland!”


Monke travelled back to his dacha. He fed his pet domestic canary and he went to sleep. Awaiting his next mission…
