Got short stories. Three parts. What do you think?

"Low Treason"

My name isn't important. But, there was a time when people refused to forgive each other. It all started with Chelsea's Law. A few people believed that once a crime had been committed the proven criminal was locked-up forever. It seemed like it might work. But, criminals who wanted to commit the said crime started doing worse. They thought that if they were going to be locked-up forever. Then, they might as well do something worth their while. People just started disappearing. It seems like that sort of thing happened anyway. But, technology seemed to make the difference. People started wearing chips on their person randomly. People started getting caught and thrown in jail. People stopped disappearing. So, Chelsea's Law was credited. Soon all laws one by one started becoming one strike. Then people started to claim they were "absolute abiding citizens." And things seemed fine. Only prisons started filling up. Then, Barbara Bush started pushing for the return of capital punishment. Saying that any breaking of the law was an act of treason. Soon people were thinking she was right. If you don't obey the law are you a home grown terrorist. So, the "low treason act" was in effect. And, basically any breaking of the law no matter how low was an act of treason against The United States of America. I guess everything was fine. Nobody did anything. All prisoners were killed. There was no need for police. Then, some idiot let his kid run in the street and caused a major accident.(I don't know how?) At that moment people started getting worried. Because everybody started pushing for "accident or negligent treason." Well, basically they said that negligence is a crime in itself.(Again, I don't know how?) The good part of all of this is that the bill never passed. And slowly but surely all the one strike laws and low treason laws were abolished. All this started when I was a kid. I'm about ready to retire now. And, even though for a period of about twenty years there was no crime. I really don't know why it all happened? Was everyone afraid of the law or each other? The law was written by someone. And with all the technology no one could have gotten away with anything anyway. And if that's true why have laws? I don't know? Well, considering I'm retiring, I think I'll celebrate. I'll have a beer, a doobie, and my favorite girl Carla. And if I get caught, I'll go to jail for a couple of days!

"Posi-Laws Low Treason part II"

Two weeks passed since that wonderful night with Carla, the doobie, and a beer. And, some wise guy law-maker got wise and wrote posi-laws. Basically, they rewarded good semaritains with a year of tax breaks, and other positive reinforcement awards. I think it was a great idea. Why, you could be locked up for twenty-five years for robbing a seven-eleven for fifty dollars. Why not give people something good from Uncle Sam for a change. Well, the point of me saying this is because it directly changed my life for the better. My favorite girl Carla just happens to be a prostitute. She was walking the streets minding her own business. When she witnessed some kid get hit by some motorist. And it didn’t look good! And, the worst part of it all is the kid died in the street. No one did a thing. Well good ‘ol Carla didn’t hesitate in what she did. And, all I can say is her profession isn’t in the medical field. Well, some guy filmed the whole thing, and it went viral on the internet. It turns out the kid was out looking for his first, he was eighteen. And, Uncle Sam, well he didn’t hesitate either. Fate?? Well, she started some “troll” movement. You see Carla was given a thousand dollars for her good deed. And prostitutes all over the country started “trolling” the streets looking for “their” G. And people in general started being nice to each other looking for a piece of the proverbial American pie. And serendipitously she got pregnant.(the kid’s of course) The world ate it up! And, me?? Carla went straight. And, asked me to marry her. So, I did. And I raised that boy. Well, he’s at MIT now. And I couldn’t be a happier father. Well, I gotta go to Carla. She needs me. She wants to hurry and visit our son for spring break. He graduates in May. His name is Trollie Cecil Bledsoe.
