PHAT TROUBLE
Salvador L. Jenkins has just come from his $17 breakfast at his favorite restaurant, Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. He is in a hurry to pick up his custom-made Phat Farm shoes
to compliment his favorite shirt, the black XXL Phat Farm shirt his aunt in Phoenix, AZ had bought for his birthday before she passed away last September. He is excited and determined to arrive at his destination on time so he decides that the subway will be his quickest mode of transportation. While on the subway Salvador fidgets in his chair as he waits impatiently for the subway to finally reach Queens, where the store that carries his shoes is waiting. Allowing his patience to reach its limit, Salvador jumps out of his seat, arms flailing. Unfortunately, Salvador's latest episode has come with a price. While jumping out of his seat, Salvador failed to notice that the person sitting next to him was Alain, who had just been released on parole. Salvador had just scuffed Alain's brand-new fresh $200 Nike's. Alain, now upset, faces Salvador and pulls out a can-opener, threatening to hurt Salvador. Salvador is now terrified at this point since he had never been in a fight before or even held a weapon. Fearing he might wet himself, Salvador dashes for the subway exit to escape what would have been a messy situation.

Jermaine may look like your average, everyday hobbo. Some parents would even look at him and say, "Wait a second, isn't that the man from Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood?" and then turn around to their kids and say, "See kids, drugs are bad news..." However, few w
ould ever suspect that Jermaine is actually in the middle of saving someone's life. Jermaine, or should I say, Captain Tenacious, is on his way to save his wife, Florida, from the clutches of his archnemesis, Dr. Fantastico. You see, Jermaine was once part of the popular 1940s vigilante group, the "Great Triumphant Fellowship of Men Better Than You" or G.T.F.O.M.B.T.Y. for short. While fighting small time crime on the streets of Brooklyn and running around in pink spandex, Captain Tenacious made a few enemies along the way, enemies who don't just go away. One morning while Jermaine was lying in bed waiting for his wife Florida to bring him his morning coffee, he noticed a piece of paper jammed between his sheets. He struggled to retrieve the note, but once it was firmly grasped in his hand he read it aloud, "Meet me at the M&M's store here in New York or I'm going to nibble on your wife's toes while she's sleeping. Love, Dr. Fantastico" Alarmed, Jermaine rushes out of bed, gets dressed, and hurries on to the subway. He is determined now more than ever to not only ignore the remarks of people comparing him to the host of a popular children's program, but to get back his beloved wife, Florida.

Leave a comment and tell me what you think of the stories :D
Wow, your stories never cease to entertain. I especially liked the second story about "Jermaine". Maybe one day I'll read an anthology of short stories by Joel Trinidad... who knows?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the tone you use in your stories. I find the titles of the shows and clubs quite amusing! Great stories.
