The Blessing

It frothed, it boiled from deep within her soul, fermenting in the furnaces of hell. Considering how best to take her toll, With heaving breast, stared down the infidel, and belched it forth with foul and fetid smell. It launched, depraved and deathly, to the skies; the horror of its impact filled his eyes. Try though he might, he could not quell his fears, and thus, did rationality despise. The evil jabberwock fell on his ears.

So saying, " God Bless You" to some people is like saying something horrible and evil to them. Enjoyed reading this winning work. Way to go. Congratulations on being on the winners' list. Sara

There’s a funny backstory to this one, lol, some folks act like a blessing is a curse, so it got me chuckling about what they must imagine when someone says “God bless you”!
