These are all really great. I love that you used the Three Wise Monkeys for inspiration. They are well written, poignant and made me feel bad because of the obvious truth conveyed.
I just wanted to let you know that there is a small mistake on the last page - it says "someone one else" and I'm not sure if you meant to do that :)

Well done,Laz/joe

The quality of your writing showed itself from sentence One and carried through to the end.
Nicely done, and good luck.

Very true and poignant and well-written. We could all stand to open our eyes, ears and mouths a little more often, methinks...

Wonderful story,though heard many a times in life ,even then it seems to be a fresh one.It is true that keeping eyes shut will help you for not putting burden on your mind.
You will be at ease if you don't reply.
You will be more comfortable if you don't hear the cries.
Ha, ha ....so many taxes & poverty on roads etc.,

Great subject(s). Descriptive and poignant. Sad gets me, and this got me.

The titles and cover are surreal...Thanks Lazarus!

So sad but so true. Even when I don't want to read on, knowing whats coming, you make it impossible to stop. Nice job.

Beautiful and heartbreaking piece. You wrote reality in such a poetic way. It's not surprising coming from someone as talented as yourself. Amazing work as always!

I love monkeys and I thought that this was going to be a very cultural story due to the title. But once again you have surpassed my expectations. This was short, concise and raw. I can only hope to write something similar to this. amazing
