In this compelling Thriller Short from bestselling author R.L. Stine, a man discovers what can happen when hostility gets the best of him. For former convicts Wayne Mullet and Leon Maloney, working at a retirement home for chimpanzees located in the Louisiana woods is a step up from prison life. Their jobs at The Haven aren’t the greatest. Still, Wayne wants to keep his. But when Leon takes his resentment out on two old dudes, Leon gets what’s coming to him. Unfortunately, though, it’s Wayne who’s left holding the bag in a room full of witnesses.
