Relic—Six Sentence Story

Looking at the relics of his past, those lingering memories of his old habits, George couldn’t see how he got from there to here no matter how many self-help programs he pursued. Oh, sure, he gave most of those programs five-stars, but he knew none of them helped and none of them did.

Though officially brainless, Bryan’s gut made an observation: “Well, we do know that a dream with a supposed look-back time of a billion years actually happened, don’t we?” The confused body parts remained silent until they felt Bryan himself resume his joy with thankfulness.
