Pete loved giving advice, such as, “After you’ve gone the distance you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find.”
Greg asked him, “Is there something I should worry about once I get there?”
Pete smiled making Greg wonder whether Pete thought he knew something or whether he wanted to tick Greg off like Greg wanted to do to him.
“There’s nothing to worry about should you get there,” Pete clarified.
Greg snorted a forced laugh.
“However, you won’t get there without help and you won’t want that to happen once you’ve realized what you’ve missed.”
Denise offers the prompt word “distance” this this week’s Six Sentence Story.

He might be. At least Greg thinks so. Thank you, Denise!

I was originally thinking of him as a sage, but I am not sure that came across based on the comments of others.

I tend to read a lot into some stories, and this is one of those I suspect has a bit of a hidden message for some. Great SSS.

He may have been taunting Greg. I wrote it a few days ago and now I wonder if I could have written it differently. Thank you, Pragalbha!

Pete sounds like the kind of person/character who would relish using an old (and annoying) saying attributed to some obscure mystical sect, ‘If you have to ask the question, you won’t understand the answer.”

I love the photos… even after reading the comment thread, I suspect I missed the meaning of the story. As far as preparing for something in the future, I expect you and I are both preparing for the same glorious 2nd coming and our home-going.

I wonder what ‘help’ Greg will need, and will Pete be the one to give it? Sounds like Pete already made the journey and can now offer wisdom however cryptically he chooses to do so.

Pete may be helping at the moment, but I was imagining Greg as someone who didn’t even want to go there. I suspect that I left too many details out for a coherent story. Thank you!
