Tom could not see how to get from where he was to where he wanted to be. Nor did anyone have a suggestion outside of praying that he get well soon.
In desperation he resigned himself to whatever would happen hoping he could get his house in order before it did.
While sitting outside in the warm summer air Tom’s appetite returned and his death influenced fantasies left him. Within an hour and without any evident treatment to credit with the change he suddenly found himself where he didn’t think it was any longer possible for him to be. He got better.
Denise offers the prompt word “treatment” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

Great story. Reminds me of this from Jesus: “For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.” Healing is for all!
Blessings.
