Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
I really should be (writing) over at SoCS with Kerry and them, this June morning, the clouded sky outside my window hinting a day as boring as the inside of an empty cereal box. But, today is Thursday and our friend zoe invites all to join her in her goal to write a story employing six, and only six sentences. It’s a challenge and it’s a puzzle, an exercise for the skills and wit that surely form the basis of our presence in this, the blogosphere, for is not this part of the virtual world, the very essence of 6th Grade composition class, all rules and discipline, barely restraining the youthful enthusiasm of the class? (And me, in the back of that classroom, wrought-iron legged desks dividing the rows, not staring sullenly at my desk because, well, because the dream of being a transfer student, (whose 5 year record of smart-assed under-achieving had been expunged by the parental change of address), is realized here, a lifetime later. Today our Teacher/friend-with-the-cool-and-still-un-broken-toys/one with an enthusiasm sufficient to make up for self-consciousness, zoe says that ‘stall’ is the prompt word for this week’s Six Sentence Story.
….Hey! it looks like I’m done!!

Wow… undercover six…usually the intro is an entity all its own! Unless of course you’re stalling.
lol…. I (only) write ’em as they appear (like one of the creepy TV commercials for the Outer Limits, back, before your time… where, like the TV comes …wait, what a fricken old person I am… let me show you, not tell you (ha ha))
Oh ye of little faith and aged mind….i too am quite familiar with alien forces overtaking my tv for an hour or so per week
lol… who is this, really?!
What Ivy said. Your creativity abounds on Thursday mornings.
thank you… funny, when I think back to college days, if there was a least adversarial morning, it would have been Thursday… huh
Very well played! Okay, my comments are not appearing, i will remove the link to my blog, usually that’s what blocks me from being able to comment. Sad, but true.
hey! what the hell! it shouldn’t, this is a self-hosted blog and I totally don’t mind links in comments (unless, they’re like from “You Need (fill in the blank) Send Money’ ads or, worse, Anti-Smoking ads (they give being rogers a bad name)
any way….
allow me,

Like it.
Yes, done and done well! :)
Good one! Didn’t catch on til….the end LOL
Another awesome entry! I love coming here because I’m always curious to see what approach you’re going to take this week. You make the process as fun as the final presentation! :-)
thank you Josie. it’s fun and I’m with you on the fun, I too am always curious to see what happens on Thursdays
So, have you written a post for SoCS? I haven’t seen you over there before, but I regret that I never seem to make it around to all the posts she gets linked back with.
no! I haven’t! I think I should …(haven’t actually been there, have seen it in reference only at ‘headache
