Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
Below is the Wakefield Doctrine’s most recent contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.
Hosted by Denise, there are only one rule: let there be Six Sentences!
The prompt word:
DATE
“Your first Six Sentence Story was published on what date?”
“That would have July 3,2013, I have the link if you need it.”
“That won’t be necessary, we have access to everything you’ve written and posted on the internet.”
The woman on the far side of the counter paused, as if to decide the tenor of her participation, “What is it you are asking of us?”
“Thing of it is, to the best of my recollection I’ve never missed a Thursday deadline; and tonight is trying become a first in that regard, so I was wondering if there was some sort of special dispensation for any of us caught in the grip of basketball-skull on top of tapioca-filled lungs, to, you know, get an extension?”
“While I have not personally experienced such an accommodation, I would suggest you throw your self on the mercy of the Readers and writers of the Six Sentence Story bloghop;” at that point the plexiglass barrier between the two vanished, leaving no further setting for either of the characters to continue to interact.

“basketball-skull on top of tapioca-filled lungs”.
For that, I believe there is special dispensation. Besides, it’s Thursday and you made it under deadline. Later than usual but you got a pass, ‘cuz ya know, tapioca.
A+ for you tonight, Clark. Love the album and the song.
ty
the whole damn album
Larry and horns, whats not to love!
If that date is true, Clark, you’ve been doing this for almost 10 years. Congratulations. I think I’m over the two year mark. I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
While I totally dig the role of Unreliable narrator, a fever is like an uninvited, very hot woman.
So I went and double checked myself and found this:

ok, Six Sentence post (I counted periods)… hmmm being the first, I’m wiling to accept that maybe I was not strictly following format (like that ever happens lol)
so I went to the next
well, there is a reference to zoe the host who convinced me to try (and, with her encouragement and help, instrumental to my staying with it)
so, I’comfortable with some or all of the assertions
Well, you can add this to your collection of FRISTs!😄
Btw, how is your vitamin D& B12 level?
Get well soon. Spring is coming.
Hell, better than that, after searching the local supa markets, I scored me some Brawndo!!*
* yes, one of those clever, and frankly rather amusing cultural references that apparently were too advanced for the 16-year-old PA at the local Quiki Med
10 years, my goodness. 3 July will be another big birthday for my hubby, Cliff!
(I usually include the warning (when speaking of our pasts to ‘Don’t do the math’) lol
Pass along a Doctrine HB to Cliff.
Link up as long as the link is open (after all, sometimes you post more than one and the second is after Thursday), and please get well soon.
thankee
Hope your basketball head & tapioca lungs is only imagined, rather than Covid, RSV, Flu, Uncommonly cruel cold, or any other of the gooey gluey illnesses going around. And yeah, you’re all good!
yeah turned out (after annoying test) to be a common cold. I stumble across the unpleasant truth when I heard myself say to someone, “I’m grateful it nothing more exotic, except it’s been six years since the last time I had a cold and it didn’t feel so bad.”
… it took a moment for the true implications of my protest to sink in.
I completely empathize.
Ooh, I have been there, sometimes you just aren’t well enough to do the things you want to. Great 6
Thank you, Anne
