Even Worthy Stan—Six Sentence Story

When Stan got offended he became offensive. That was when all hell broke loose as he tormented those around him and they reciprocated. Stan poured fuel on the flames with the way he explained how each and every one of them deserved it.

And sometimes the people who deserved it actually did deserve it, but hell being what it is, even worthy Stan was made miserable by all his divisiveness. The thought that good folk, like himself, suffered right along with the bad guys got Stan even more offended.

Eventually people, getting tired, put hell back in its cage where it belonged and God gave them more time to start loving each other unless they really wanted to all get locked up in that cramped cage together.

  6. At some point, it’s necessary to take a step back, reassess – beginning with ourselves.
    Remove the negative energy (no matter who lit the match) and take a step back.
    Sometimes that’s all it takes. Good Six, Frank.

  7. “…but hell being what it is, even worthy Stan was made miserable by all his divisiveness.”

    very insightful negative is negative and always has a corrosive effect on it’s surroundings (or container)
