Wise Old Chicken is a good-sized rooster with a bright red comb and the ability to focus his beady eyes into a piercing stare that seemingly could melt diamonds.The old bird pops into the lives of all sorts of flora or fauna to offer his advice or simply comment on the underlying truths of various situations. He faces many perplexing and sometimes annoying affairs that involve diverse characters, such as a ridiculous bell pepper and the mice who try to help him, overly curious squirrels, a bat that falls in love with a bird, and many more . . .Written for adult readers who enjoy literary short fiction with a quirky edge, this collection explores the strange, the humorous, and the unexpectedly meaningful, where the absurd feels normal, and wisdom often arrives uninvited.
