Pay No Attention, All is Well

100 Word Story

Don’t worry about it Gertrude, the Pool Master 500 will take care of all the muck.

Are you sure Marvin? Do you see how the green is coming back at the other end of the pool? It’s thicker and did you notice that the hedge is creeping closer?

Open your eyes, Marvin. How can you ignore what’s happening in plain sight! I’m not sitting here by this pool. In fact, I think it’s time to get out of town.

All is well, because Psalm 23 says so.
