House of Cards—Six Sentence Story

When the scientist complained that just about everything he knew to be true was not, he heard his mind sing, “When the truth is found—duh-duh—to be-e-e-e-e lies!”

“I only said that it wasn’t true, not that it was a lie,” the scientist corrected his mind.

“Sorry,” his mind replied, “but you do know that it was a lie, don’t you?“

“Lie, schmie, who cares?”

“You do, but apparently you don’t know it yet.”

What the scientist did know was this interchange with whatever it was he kept calling his “mind” could go on and on—and on—and on and on and on and on and on and so he put an end to it by saying, “And with that we move on to the confused conclusion of the last sentence of our story.”
