Six Sentence Story: Rattling the Brain

“I know the Bible better than you do,” Brian taunted trying to rattle Mark’s brain.

“Even the devil knows the Bible better than I do,” Mark quickly countered unsure just how much the devil actually knew about anything.

“I am – NOT – the devil 😈 😈 😈!”

“How do you know the devil’s not running your month?” Mark wondered -unfortunately out-loud.

“How do – YOU – know 😠 😠 😠?”

Not having a good comeback for this, Mark wondered if perhaps the devil does know the Bible better than he does having heard it from every Tom, Dick and Harry he unsuccessfully tried to harass – not that such knowledge could ever, any more, do the devil any good.

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

Matthew 4:5-6 KJV – 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

  5. reminds me of a great line from ‘The Usual Suspects’ (and perhaps originally Charles Baudelaire)

    “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist”
