Six Sentence Story: Victim

“Wield the sword with one hand and protect the baby with the other,” John proclaimed to the devil as it approached.

“What?” the devil responded.

“You heard me,” John replied.

The devil didn’t say anything, but that didn’t stop John from continuing.

“I’m looking for a good fight,” John said.

The devil backed away knowing there must be, somewhere, a softer victim, someone easier to tip over into disobedience.

Six Sentence Story: High Rank

George reached an age when his wickedness began to manifest in unrighteous ways on the shape of his body. For decades it had limited its manifestations to various wrinkles freezing funny frowns on his face, but now other parts of his body were wrecking havoc on his health.

It’s logically impossible – not that it hasn’t ever happened – for the wicked who have convinced themselves that they’re righteous to repent. The other guy has to go first. But that other guy, ranking as wickedly high on the righteousness scale as George has, isn’t about to do any such thing.

And that’s why this story about George isn’t going anywhere.
