Short Stories From Ossain'oosá

Intelligent Sand

Intelligent Sand

Aug 03, 2024


Nirin had found a new job selling a revolutionary product: Intelligent Sand. This sand could instantly transform into anything you needed with the push of a button. He was in the growing city of Djenné, where it was always warm and sunny, and where nothing lasted more than a day. 

Buildings and streets changed so rapidly that one needed a new map of the city every single day. This constant change was thanks to the very technology Nirin was selling. People had short attention spans and wanted to buy things quickly, on a whim.

--x----x--------x-----

Nirin was trying to save enough cowries (money) to support himself while he pursued his true dream: becoming a real-life Bosunirun. However, he hadn’t made a sale in a while, and after three days without a sale, he would be fired. 

He had figured out how to get the attention of potential customers at the door, but he still couldn’t make them interested enough to buy. He struggled to build trust with the customers.

--x----x--------x-----

One day, Nirin met a man who had experience buying different sets of Intelligent Sand, enabling him to switch between various types of objects. The man mentioned he was looking to buy more in the future. Nirin knew that securing this one sale would keep his job and bring him a step closer to his dream. 

Determined, Nirin delivered his pitch in a manner he had never done before. His colleagues were amazed by his brilliance, and the customer bought the product without any objections. That sale was so easy, Nirin felt like he owned the world.
