Six Sentence Story: Reflecting Pool

With ancient soundtracks playing in the background that synched with the mantras running from his mouth, the wizard gazed for spiritual insight into a large, shallow pool of water reflecting his image.

A voice said, What are you looking at, George?

Not used to hearing voices interfere with his imagination George asked, “What?”

You won’t find your way back on your own.

“That garden never existed,” he countered.

By the way, I didn’t make you in My image from stardust, but from the dust of the earth.

Denise offers the prompt word “pool” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

[Chorus]
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion-year-old carbon
And we got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

Matthew 7:13-14 KJV – 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

    1. Thank you and blessings, Dora! I am glad you found it humorous as the Wizard George and the Lord had their little conversation. I was smiling while I wrote it and I wished I had more than six sentences.
