Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Through the alchemy of a workday holiday, we are, somehow, at the point in the week when a Six Sentence Story is called for.
The one doing the calling is our host, Denise. She is suggesting that we take this week’s prompt word and write a story of six and only six sentence length. For the common enjoyment of all who would engage in this exercise.
The prompt word this week is:
MATTER
Raphael awoke with a sense of something unholy, quietly brightening on the dawn’s horizon; his divinely inspired character compelled him to seek others of his kind.
“What is the matter, brother, your countenance speaks of the night, yet all is bright in this place,” of the archangels, Lucifer seemed to always be available.
“Well, you know that little project that has, of late, kept Him so distracted? It continues, even after casting them from the Garden, there are now two offspring and He seems pleased,” Raphael struggled to recall what had disturbed his sleep.
The un-naturally beautiful face of God’s favorite dimmed slightly, the spark in his eyes flaring at the thought of the new race. The Morningstar recalled how easy it was to relate to the firstborn, who, surely his mother’s son, took his suggestion to heart, “About that…”

Nice flow to this. As I was reading, I felt as if I could have been a fly on the celestial wall.

Oh, the discussions that we could imagine up there!
yeah, right?
Awesome. Any play on a classic and I’m hooked
agree, sometimes it’s a painting, other times some old testament meme
Oh my that was amazing. Thank you.
thanks
An Inspired six. The devil’s in the details of course.
pre-fallen angel, whats not to love?
I am always a sucker for good vs evil… Those last two words tho… “About that..” Always intriguing.
thanks, M. (I realized, after the fact, that I let myself get carried away, first by an image and then by trying to portray something that didn’t happen and not leave enough clues! lol). Even Phyllis, who was hearing me on the morning of writing this (I tend to air-think some of my stories ideas) didn’t get the too-subtle reference to Cain and Able… (Cain being first born and, like his mom, having a weakness for acting on impulse…or something like that. Plus once Lucifer (pre-fallen) got involved it was too much fun to write the character and too easy to set the context…)
Lucifer was about to tell Ralphael about the second casting out their boss had just done on the human race
