Six Sentence Story: Poof, The End
The family of four, Adam and Evie with their son and daughter, stopped for lunch. They each made a choice of drink and foot-long sandwich which was heated and sliced in two. After paying for the food Adam followed his family outside to a table in the park that Evie selected.
A woman, homeless and without food, sat at one of the tables they passed. Before sitting down, Adam took one of the halves of his sandwich and gave it to her.
Blessings flowed through the kingdom of heaven.

Six Sentence Story: Adam and Evie, First Date, Second Try
Since the alternatives weren’t working, Evie decided to yield to grace rather than self-justification as she apologized to Adam when she and Lilith ran into him again.
Lilith quickly clarified that what Evie meant was they were not going to tolerate Adam’s abuse any longer and there would be severe consequences if he refused to cooperate with their demands which she took from her bag and began to read.
While Lilith was running her mouth Adam wondered if Evie’s sudden change of heart meant she didn’t know as much about what was going on as he thought. Deciding to gamble on Evie being deceived, Adam shifted his attention to Lilith abruptly interrupting her “demands” and telling her to “get the hell out of here”.
Offended by such rude behavior Lilith made a mistake – common among humans and common among her own kind – thinking she could take brief detours from her assignments to get even with someone who deliberately ticked her off and thereby expose her more authentic voice as a hiss and her more authentic body as that of a serpent now rising slowly above Adam’s head.
Standing his ground Adam baited the snake (or demon, or whatever it might turn into next) to increase its arrogance – bolder, louder, meaner – for all to see until it realized that it had to obey and the fastest way that this particular whatever-it-was knew how to obey was poof.

Although there is likely a paved bikeway nearby in Florida you could get off that beaten track to walk on the sands of the ocean shore for many miles.
