I’ve been talking a lot about perspective lately, so I thought I’d share these three short stories on the subject. After reading, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Sure, any of the three could have done some things differently— Is anyone at fault, or is everyone? Do you think that one person is more at fault than another? Where would you place the blame?

Come on, you know you want too! 😁

Jeb fires up a doobie and hands it to Don, “Take this next dirt road Donnie, I’m about to bust.”

“Dammit son, you’ve got the bladder of a pregnant woman,” Don said as he tossed his empty beer bottle out of his driver’s window—BAM! Timing the throw just right, the bottle smacked the yellow-road-ahead-sign as they passed by it.

Just as he turns onto the dirt road, Don’s phone starts to ring, interrupting Hank Williams Jr’s Dinosaur reverie.
