Synopsis
Life Seemed Good, But…. is a funny, down-to-earth anthology of more than ninety short stories of life in and around the big Mystee Forest. From talking insects to aliens and seemingly normal events that end badly, the book also includes the author’s tragic first-person adventures with lasers and aluminum foil. After the epilogue comes Wisdom from a Turtle, which includes “People are not toys.” Picture Aesop meets the Brothers Grimm in an alternate reality, with glimpses of the disastrously silly.
These tales form a world of surreal situations rich in trivia, hidden meanings, and connections that reward attention. The humor is not for everyone…not all are amused by misfortune, tragedy, bad puns, or antihumor.
Bell began writing as therapy while caring for his wife during her treatment for leukemia. During that time, he was laid off from his job, and writing became a way to deal with the stress. The book is dedicated to anyone who’s supported someone through a serious illness or simply navigated the vicissitudes of life. May it give you laughter as medicine.
One reviewer called it “shockingly amazing.”
Revised 2026.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. A collection of very short, funny stories with unpredictable endings. Dedicated to all those who watched someone suffer with cancer or any serious illness. It¿s a picture of life as viewed by a rich array of characters, talking animals, and the author¿s twisted perception of reality. Rated PG13 for minor drug references, cartoon violence, bad puns, and anti-humor. Contains a wealth of hidden trivia. Richard Bell presents us here with his multi-layered series of short stories and little tips to make our lives more interesting. Follow the journeys of Spud, the evil potato, the author and his misadventures with aluminum foil, a porcupine named Timmy who comes to think he¿s a doctor, and young brothers Scooter and Biff, to name just a few who live in this hilarious world. Many of the stories come from Bell¿s magazine column entitled Modern Fables published in Wassup Local Magazine (Lake County, IL). He originally started writing in 2004 when he was laid off from his job shortly after his wife got leukemia, and this was his therapy. A portion of the proceeds from book sales is donated to Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science for cancer research. N° de réf. du vendeur 00080574374
