Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the weekly writing-prompt bloghop called the Six Sentence Story.
It is hosted by Denise.
Apologies to J Kilmer. (New Participant Advisory: If you’re stuck for ideas, facing a hard-deadline and find yourself thinking, “The best thing is to not force it, get a night’s sleep and wake up in the morning, rested and refreshed. Surely the story ideas with be flowing and abundant!”)
Don’t. Anything else. But don’t try to dream-yourself-into-an-idea-for-a-Six-Sentence-Story.
In deference, (with a certain overtone of apology), to the well-intentioned participants in this fine, fine writing forum, we’ll be adding a ‘real’ Six, later in the day.
(After a shower and a cup of moloko vellocet, of course.)
The prompt word is:
CLUB
I think that I shall never see,
A letter as evil as a ‘C’.Neither circle nor an arc,
It waits, half a deadly mark.The ‘C’ sits patiently after ‘A’ and ‘B’,
From its gaping maw, other letters flee.While some Sixes are dreamt, others are forged,
By ogres and nymphs by the Celtic sea.Better to be a rapier than a club,
A surgeon than a butcher.Some Sixes are dreamt, by fools like me,
After nightmares based on the letter ‘C’.

Who said this ain’t “real”…who??
ikr? (damn! that was me… I retract it)
lol
I usually wait for morning dreams to make sense out of the prompt word. Sometimes it takes more than one morning. Good warning about potential nightmares and nice rhymes ala Kilmer.
(a lot has to do with getting up at 4am)

That was terrific! You can you get the Clockwork moo juice this a.m.–no need!
thanks Liz
This was enjoyable to read. A clever way to use your writer’s block for inspiration.
Thank you Nicole
I see what you’re getting at, I’ll never see the letter C in the same way again.
Dude! sorry… (don’t tell anyone, but I literally cannot remember a) what I wrote and 2) what I was thinking when I did!)
