Pleasant Tales II

Justin Isis

… Two young sisters enjoy the gustatory delights of chocolate pudding …

… A healthy young man takes a walk in the park and offers sage employment advice to strangers …

… A sinner estranged from God considers turning over a new leaf …

In this set of exceptionally brief and mild stories, very little conflict occurs, and the characters are not developed in any great depth—if at all.

If you’re tired of exciting story arcs and dramatic events, Pleasant Tales II expertly withholds the conventional rewards of fiction. A collection especially appropriate for juvenile readers and those utterly bored with the ancient and mercenary strife of the human heart.
