Phil finished replacing the bathroom faucet, turned on the water supply valves and got off the floor to try it out all while listening to a commercial promoting his hometown as the best Little Babylon in the country.
There’s sin aplenty in Blislisnis! We have everything from soul scorching addictions to petty titillations – all at discount prices! Our trained experts will tease your mind with vain imaginations and pump your darkened heart into a foolish frenzy.
After turning the handles, Phil watched the water leak from the drain pipe. While cleaning up the mess and fixing the leak he told me that my story made no sense and he rarely, if ever – no – he never EVER went to those sin arcades in Blislisnis.

Denise offers the word “sin” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.
Romans 1:21 “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.” (KJV)

What a narration! Love it!

He’s an awful plumber. The only reason he’s in the story is because I had to replace a bathroom faucet a few days ago and I know exactly what he went through. Thank you!

I liked your story about honesty when working for others. It builds trust and we will not forget any dishonesty on our part.

Everything is subject to marketing, isn’t it? And “at discount prices.” I say, beware the hard sell.
Good Six, Frank.

But what if Phil has to fix the plumbing in one of those ‘sin arcades’?

I hadn’t thought about that, but given that the faucet leaked I suspect he didn’t get much business. Thank you, Bernadette!
