“All My Baby Mommas”
–Teaser–
INT. Apartment in the South Side of Chicago – Night
Jack sits on ratty couch, eating Cheetos, watching Comedy Central, laughing hysterically.
Door bell rings.
Grunting, struggling to get up, bits of food dropping off of him, Jack stumbles to intercom.
Jack: Who is it?
Intercom: Beatrice.
Jack’s eyes blow-wide–Uh, oh.
Jack: Wait. I thought you were in a coma?
Beatrice (through intercom): I was. I woke up.
Jack (looks panicked then becomes smooth): Well, heey, baby–how yah doing?
Beatrice: Ooh, don’t you–heey, baby, me, Jack. Where’s my child support checks for all three years I was in a coma?
Jack looks around his apartment. Uh, oh.

“All My Baby Mamas”
Debuting this winter on Fox…
When not satirizing day-time TV, Michael James Greenwald (Sleep Sunshine) is a student at Story Studio Chicago, applying for a Ragdale Residency in the fall, and waffling daily (sometimes hourly) on To-MFA or To-Not-To-MFA, that is the question.
His debut novel The Rainbow Child and short story collection Celebratory Gunfire are W.I.P (better than RIP).
His personal blog site is sleepsunshine. Feel free to venture to his Facebook page or feel free to email him with any comments or suggestions for further topics, or if you had any interest in being a guest blogger on either one of his sites.
