Hmmmm -- I'm not surprised at apes; they seem to come up as the way a lot of writers use them as the most outwardly similar animals to us in order to emphasise our difference. I have wolves on the brain lately, so that's my excuse. Maybe it's just the people Patti runs with! ;-)K. A.

I attempted to do 100% dialogue in mine but I didn't like the way it was turning out. This is how to do 100% dialogue.<br /><br />Interesting that wolves and primates are the most often featured animals in these stories.
