For those that don’t know of it, shorteststory.com is a website by Peter Chiykowski (also the creator of the webcomic Rock, Paper, Cynic) that posts regular “postcards” of short stories on a backdrop photo. As the title implies, the stories are very short, a few sentences, a paragraph or two. And, IMO, they are awesome.
I thought today’s installment particularly relevant to today’s politics.
For those that can’t see the image, here is the text:
THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT THE WORLD IS MADE OF WOLVES AND SHEEP,
THAT YOUR ONLY CHOICE IS TO KILL OR BE KILLED, FOR SUCH ARE THE ROLES THAT NATURE GIVES US.
BUT THIS IS THE PROPAGANDA OF WOLVES. THEY ARE AFRAID OF US, AFRAID WE WILL REMEMBER.
WE CAN CHOOSE TO BE SHEPHERDS.
