Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
You wouldn’t believe how far ahead of schedule I’m writing this here Six Sentence Story here; way, way…ahead; technically it’s Sunday night!
Now, just for the record, and to bring any bloggers joining us for the first time, up-to-speed; our host, Denise, comes up with a prompt word and totally leaves it up to us to write a story exactly six sentences in length.
Of course, its up to us to work the prompt word into our little story(s); ‘course that’s where the fun, (and the challenge to our creativity), is to be found. For most of us, that is.
UPon learning this week’s prompt word, I confess to being seized by a mental image of our esteemed colleague-in-letters, Paul, in a corner of his writing room, knees UP to his chest, the door blocked by a crumpled mâché drift of printer paper, smiling serenely, a thought balloon over his head containing a single line from an old Eagles song, “This could be heaven or it could be hell.”
You’re absolutely correct, that does makes six!
UP
sure, it’s just one line in the Six, but still a good song.

Ha! I thought of Paul as well, but certainly didn’t see this six coming. It’s so understated. It’s UP to you, but I’d like another story. One with a nun.
Funny you should say that, the story cycle (that seems to run in the background of my head) is due to stop at the ‘Home and Heart’ story. Thanks for the prompt… last I recall, Sister Catherine was in the Pacific Northwest about to meet the mother who left her on the doorsteps of the Miami Childrens Home*, and Sister Margaret is surely about to turn up her campaign against the Bernebau Company. Surely there must be a Six-able story in there somewhere.
Hey, you know, the invitation is open to do a ‘walk-on’ over at the Writer’s Club. Plenty of plot/context space for most any character that you might fancy…. you know, the setting of ‘Interlude’ is a small town on the Atlantic coast. I don’t suppose you have any sense of what people from that part of the country are like….
lol
*that was an actual real place (since razed) and it’s real name.

I gots to get my site looked at…I hear from a number of people that it seems like their comments are not ‘taking’ but, for the most part, they do.
Now I see me.
Slick Six!
(no, no I have not. not yet)

I couldn’t believe the similarity between your intro and mine, sorta! Promise, I did not read your intro before writing mine. LOL
You were quick to the scene this time. Funny how often prompts remind us of music.
that (the juxtaposition between music and writing) is a large part of the fun for me
Although this should be an easy one for me, it wasn’t. I love the UP side of my life however!
‘cellent Six
I thought of Paul, too. And the movie UP, of course. I went a different direction with the prompt, though. (LOL–as if that would be possible with a directional prompt!)
lol… quite a departure (your Six) and very interesting/engaging
Well done! And my comments never “take” here, i guess you fish them out of the spam folder the way CuriousAsACathy does.
I need to figure whats going on with the Comment function. Your comments appear, awaiting moderation. The do not go to spam. I suspect it’s one my end as there have been others who experience it as ‘not taking’.
