Residents advised to keep doors and windows locked as police use thermal imaging cameras to search for animals

These monkeys went bananas: 40 monkeys escaped from a research facility in South Carolina, and local authorities on Wednesday warned residents to stay away.

“Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,” the Yemassee police department said on Facebook this week. “If you spot any of the escaped animals, please contact 911 immediately and refrain from approaching them.”

The monkeys that absconded were from the Alpha Genesis research center, which bills itself as “primate research specialists”. Police said that they have set up traps around the area and are “utilizing thermal imaging cameras in an attempt to locate the animals”.

          I’m imaging a series of movies where the timeline of each sequel expands outward in both time directions. First movie is 1950-1980, second movie is both 1940-1950 and 1980-1990, etc, with the time travel shenanigans getting increasingly complex each iteration with the characters going farther back trying to control the events of the previous movies, and us seeing further ramifications in the future of those attempts.

            I was thinking like a paraquel. Where the second movie takes place at the same time, but from completely different perspectives.

            Would be cool to highlight people with main character mentality.
