Political Correctness—Six Sentence Story

Brian told Steve that he better be careful. He could tick off a lot of people.

Since Steve was by disposition a hermit wannabe, except for his internet connection, he said that his goal was to tick off everyone who needed it.

And so they did.

And when that was finished everyone lived happily ever after, or, at least Steve (thought he) (knew he) (wondered if he) did.

Frequency—Six Sentence Story

With a frequency that annoyed Steve, Brian would tell him, “You better get whatever you were supposed to do done before the world ends.”

“The world’s not going to end,” Steve responded one afternoon putting his attention back on the game which his team was winning.

John 14:1-6 KJV
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

House of Cards—Six Sentence Story

When the scientist complained that just about everything he knew to be true was not, he heard his mind sing, “When the truth is found—duh-duh—to be-e-e-e-e lies!”

“I only said that it wasn’t true, not that it was a lie,” the scientist corrected his mind.

“Sorry,” his mind replied, “but you do know that it was a lie, don’t you?“

“Lie, schmie, who cares?”

“You do, but apparently you don’t know it yet.”

What the scientist did know was this interchange with whatever it was he kept calling his “mind” could go on and on—and on—and on and on and on and on and on and so he put an end to it by saying, “And with that we move on to the confused conclusion of the last sentence of our story.”
