Parachuting for Chicken Sandwiches: Stories of Humor

RICHMOND, Va., May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- In her thrilling new collection of short stories, Simple Shorts (published by Trafford Publishing), debut author Judy Flohr shares short-shorts and poems that reveal simple, quirky and offbeat themes and characters that are sure to entertain readers everywhere.

Tent preachers, gentlemen farmers, lifeguards, guide dogs and goblins are just a few of the characters who come alive in these unusual and imaginative stories. Adam and Eve even make an appearance. Follow the Mexican man and his dog as they save pesos for a work of art that reminds them of their hut, which will undoubtedly become a memory when a new golf course is built. Watch the parachute jumper gobble a chicken sandwich during his descent to the ground. As Flohr writes in her story "KFC":

"We want you to be a FLYING COLONEL!" Mr. Duncan was excited. "We are introducing five, I mean FIVE, can you believe it, all new chicken sandwiches -- Tender Roast, Triple Crunch, Triple Crunch Zinger, Original Recipe, and Honey BBQ! And we want you for ... are you ready? TRIPLE CRUNCH ZINGER!!! That is, it will be printed on your parachute. We already have commitments from four of your nearest and dearest friends -- Tom Singer, Gordon Davis, Joel Parker, and Austin Buerlin -- and we hope you will agree to join them!!" Bobby nods at each name, imagining them plowing skillfully through the clouds.

Ranging from surreal to ironic to downright hilarious, all the stories contained within the pages of Flohr's unusual and insightful collection, Simple Shorts, are written in a free-spirited and refreshingly simple voice.
