As Brian paced back and forth through the park he was unaware that an old man, sitting on a bench in the shade, was listening to him as he complained about some guy he called a “flake” and then whined about some other guy he said needed to get his “head screwed on straight”.
Ya gotta forgive um, the old man finally shouted as Brian wandered past him once more.
WHAT?
They’re idiots.
Ah . . . good point.
And so are you.

Denise offers the prompt word “flake” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.
Matthew 18:21-22 KJV – 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Forgiveness is so powerful. Thanks for the reminder.

🙂 At least the old man got Brian to stop thinking of those other two (for a while). Blessings, Chris!

Very good point. Many of the characters in my stories, especially the bad ones, could be named “Frank”. Blessings, Violet!

Heh. That old man had his “head screwed on straight” to set ol’ Brian straight, or at least bring him up short! Great story in SIX, Frank. Have a blessed weekend ahead.
