Foolish Shorts

There are 8 stories in FOOLISH SHORTS. All of the stories are originally written by Jahmaal Ahmaad. "Just a thought" is a story about a girl who's curiosity can lead to some pretty ridiculous outcomes. She questions things and then acts on them foe her own personal entertainment. "But it's mine" is meant to build a little suspense as you read. "Chicken Fred" is a story that I made up on the spot when my children asked for a bedtime story. It's pretty silly but it's entertaining, especially for children. Fred's got some learning to do. "Hide and seek" is a story that puts 2 characters with a small conflict in a small space. Will they resolve the conflict before they're found? "What about me" is a story derived from a picture I saw. In the picture you could see 2 people sitting on the patio of a hotel room seemingly having a conversation. There's an outside character observing this scene taking place and generates his own idea of what's going on. is he on to something? "Life after" is the story of Kevin Williams who is unsatisfied with his life. He comes across a magic monkey's paw and accidentally makes a wish to know what it's like when you die. He is shortly visited by an angel of death and given 48 hours of temporary immortality to experience death however he sees fit. He clearly wasn't the only one to make that wish. What will he learn from this experience? "Mariyah wants a pizza" is a short story about a girl who just wants to get a pizza but is faced with some obstacles along the way that could hinder her from achieving her goal. "Tranquility" is story that brings you into the scene I was observing in that moment. All but "Tranquility" are petty comedies. Silly stories for the young at heart.
