Jeffrey’s reactions were like those of a corpse in an open coffin. No matter how you insulted him, no matter how harshly the wind of cursing blew across his face, he didn’t respond.
And they did insult him accusing him of this and that while lying about that and this. They gave him as much hell as their trapped imaginations could come up with. However, the service Jeffrey and his team agreed to perform demanded that they focus exclusively on the assignment.
They only had a brief period of time to free those brainwashed hostages before the missiles arrived.

Denise offers the prompt word “wind” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.
Romans 12:1 KJV – I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Very good π

The image was suggested by Curry Blake in one of his videos although I can’t remember which one anymore. His recommendation was not to take offense any more than a corpse would. Blessings, Denise!

It was refreshing to hear the words, ‘him and his team’ in association with a positive progression. I was worried there for a moment. Nice six, Frank.

I don’t think he would have been able to do it alone, but I was hiding critical details in the first four sentences. Blessings, Violet!
