Six Sentence Story: Pretty Pink and Baby Blue

The devils planted Pamela wearing her pretty pink petunias next to Billy with his baby blue blossoms in a flower bed.

That’ll teach um, one of the devils said.

Teach um what? the other asked.

Teach um . . . hmmm, yeah, teach um what? . . . ah! teach um that now they can weep and moan and gnash their teeth at each other for all eternity. The dumbest thing they ever did was to find their way down here.

Just then another truckload of flowering wretches arrived.

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

Luke 13:28-30 KJV – 28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
30 And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

I don’t think this photo has anything to do with the story, but you are welcome to let your imagination run wild.

  3. Dude!*

    Really (totally out of alliterative vocab… you get the idea) enjoyed this Six

    *compliment on a Six that has the markings of the rare courage required to go stream-of-consiciousness (or it’s equivalent in terms of ‘the heck with Rules of Rhetoric’ lets make these words sit up and do tricks)

  5. i’m not sure i’m getting this? … is the lesson to make amends, to treat each other kindly, in order to enter the Kingdom of God (otherwise you’ll be lost forever, at the end of the line, and planted with the devils in the after-life?). did i get in right? … thank you, Frank, for the lesson. even if i’m wrong, i got something from your six. blessing, ren

    1. When it comes to devils, you can’t trust anything they have to say. At this point it is probably too late for Pamela and Billy to learn much of anything. Blessings, Ren!

  7. there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.

    sounds like the ones that are proclaiming themselves to be the victors- are not favored to win this race. But you lost me on the pinks and the blues.

    1. The pinks and blues are cultural, but it may not be in your culture. Pamela is female and pink is associated with females. Billy is male and blue is associated with males. That is the only meaning behind the pink and blue.

      I also meant to suggest that when they were alive they were in a relationship that involved a lot of bitterness caused most likely by both of them or they wouldn’t both be here. Where they are now is not so much punishment as the best place they could be given their refusal to resolve that bitterness while alive. Blessings, Violet!
