PROMPT: SIN

THE BAR

Sitting in a burning bar, on the flaming shores of a lake of fire, it occurred to him that living a life of sin had perhaps not been such a great idea after all.

But at least he hadn't lost his sense of humour.

With a big smile, he took out a cigarette and asked the barman, "Got a light…?" 😎

“Sin is what?” Carla murmured through anvil-heavy anguish. The confessional was chilled in despair. Tears pooled and then streamed down her pale cheeks. “Forgive me, Father. I knew it was a sin. I was weak. Lonely. So frightened. I pulled the gun’s trigger. I shot him. He was going to kill me. I just know it. I fired the gun.
