Breakfast

Welcome to Sunday’s Six Sentence Blog Hop, hosted by GirlieOnTheEdge. This week’s word prompt is Strand.

Connie sat at the breakfast table, not quite awake. She picked up her glass of milk and noticed there was a strand of long blonde hair it. No big deal, it was one of hers. She was reminded of last Friday night’s Shabbat service during which the rabbi used a metaphor that teaches when a Tzadik (a righteous person) dies, the separation of body and soul is as simple and painless as removing a strand of hair from a glass of milk. Conversely, when an evil person dies, the soul is forcibly pulled from the body as it is unwilling to leave, which is a tortuously painful and long process.

Connie removed the strand of hair from the milk, poured it in the cat’s bowl, and poured herself a glass of orange juice.
