A very well-written story about the disastrous experiment with a tornado created by a teenager and left five dead and sixteen injured because of nineteen year old teenager's courage to try something no one believes to be possible.

You've presented an interesting slant on the moonshine business. I enjoyed the story and understood the humor you were projecting. However, I felt that the it was stilted and forced at times. Maybe contrasting Ahmad's Egyptian culture with the Kentucky moonshine culture more would give you a better avenue for humor than relying on the Kentucky backwoods humor, which to me can be overused and threadbare. It's a good story with a lot of potential.

Good luck. Good writing. Thank you for allowing me to read your work.

    It was made to sound like a news report you would hear on television. Thank you for your review I appreciate your comments and will work on it not sounding so forced.

This was an interesting story indeed. Although it's a humorous flash fiction, I wouldn't be surprised if something like this did happen someday in the future!

Your story is interesting with good details and character development. I enjoyed reading it. However, I don't believe I would categorize it as 'humor.' I did not read anything that was humorous. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

    It's humor in that something like that has like a 1% change of happening. Or at least that is how I see it.

    I am however, glad that it was entertaining.

What a strange occurrence. You wouldn't think it'd work or that it'd do what it did. This is a freak accident for sure. Your story is well-written, very interesting. What a story those have to tell their kids about the day they got engaged lol.

Quite a pity the level of damage caused by this simple act.
It is well with all those who got affected and to the family that will have to rebuild and repay.
Well done dear writer.

Oh the premise of this humour fiction tale is a delicious fare of irony, given that Ahmad was an exchange student hoping to help his host family's moonshine production. Liquor it Up Distributors is a brilliant name and also creating a tornado a home with a few fits of this and a high-speed fan is no mean feat.

A most imaginative tale and I can understand how the story made the news. And a marriage in it all creates a nice happy ending too.

One small typo:

riding an electric ell (eel) to see it work.

Great work and many thanks for sharing your humour. :))

Yeeee Haaah, this ain't what you might call pohlitcally cohrrect:) It was however very funny and entertaining. I think you captured the feeling of a news clip or news paper article very well, I loved the backwoods feel of this story, great job. One small note electric ell -->eel (end of 2nd paragraph) Steve
