Sunday mornings Reverend Brown preached fire and brimstone. Sunday afternoons he liked to take his shotgun into the rich green fields and blow tiny birds to pieces. They didn’t have souls. One afternoon he got soaked in a rainstorm, but it passed, the sun came out and a spectacular double rainbow appeared. The Rev smiled, knowing that the rainbow was God’s promise never to destroy the earth again by water. He was striding home when he felt the ground tremble, and a deafening rumble came from the sky. He looked up to see the giant fireball coming right at him.

Dear Ron,
Laughed til I cried with this story! No souls, indeed. God was out people hunting. Love it!
Aloha,
Doug
Loved this. We are all important in our own eyes, although ants to others.

Ha, I do so enjoy your (humorous) sense of justice with this. Nope, not water this time, just his own special fireball. Great job, thanks for the chuckle.

Impressive, indeed! I like the way how you emphasized this : “The Rev smiled, knowing that the rainbow was God’s promise never to destroy the earth again by water.”
Genesis 9:12-13
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

Please feel free to critic, too! Thanks.
That’s a feel-good ending. Birds have no souls, indeed! Nicely done, with just the right note of irony.
This is a wonderful story and truly shows that God has a nice sense of humor! Loved it! http://theforgottenwife.com/2012/05/17/friday-fictioneers-2/
Ha! I can’t say I feel too sorry for the reverend. This story was a nice way to show that all our actions have potential consequences.

Delicious, sweet revenge from the god that’s on our side! Very satisfying, Bridges.

Ha ha ha! I am laughing my head off. How smug of him! Mine is here: http://readinpleasure.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/friday-fictioneers-sinking-low/
God teaching him to practise what he preaches! Loved it.

Who was it that used to say “God will get you for that?” I think it was Geraldine on the Flip Wilson show (showing my age).
great story, Ron.

You go, God! Double standards prevail in the world, so I like a good comeuppance story.

Ha loved the irony in this! Brilliant.
Good night! He didn’t see that coming. Easy to think you’re safe considering what you preach, but this Rev got a rude awakening. Word!

Yes I loved it! Birds don’t have souls, indeed! Let’s blow that reverend to bits. No use hiding behind that rainbow barrier – he’s doomed and good riddance!
Yes, nasty Rev. Brown got what was coming to him for killing all those little birds. Great build-up to a perfect ending.
Thanks for the comments on mine.
he had it coming.
lol Fitting end!
Serves him right. Let’s see what the vultures do to him when he slides down to the bottomless pit. Nice doing. Here’s mine:
