Six Sentence Story: Myth

Unable to naturally get there from here, Brian began mythologizing. He wasn’t sure if he should make it new-age spooky or stick to his usual pseudo-science.

Trying to make a good impression he began at the beginning with In the beginning the universe popped itself out of nothing and after an eternity it randomly evolved into what we see today.

He realized that no one in his right mind would buy that, but just how many people actually were in their right minds today nobody knew.

Just in case there were still a few around, Brian continued with Then the witch told the wizard that if you keep stirring the pot eventually no one will be in his right mind.

None of this is supposed to make any sense, so don’t worry except for the fact that Brian has been stirring the pot ever since.

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

Psalm 14:3 KJV – They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

  7. ” ...just how many people actually were in their right minds today nobody knew.“

    excellent line! (because, if they knew (and were correct) then somebody would know and, in all likelihood end up telling another and then, before you knew it everyone would be ‘in their right minds’)

    good Six

    1. That’s a great way for everyone to get back into their right minds. I hadn’t thought that.

      By the way, I have been trying to access your blog, but I haven’t been able to reach it. It could be my browser. I’ll try a different one.

      Blessings, Clark!

  8. Best of luck to Brian. The longer he stirs the less likely he’ll stop. He’s right about one thing – there seems to be a large number of people not “in their right minds today.”

    1. 🙂 Brian doesn’t realize that stirring the pot has no effect on anyone. I was going to tell him that, but I figured some things are best learnt the hard way. Blessings, Ren!
