Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Wakefield Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.
Hosted by Denise, it offers a prompt word around which a story of a mere six sentence is requested.
[Editor’s Note: Of late we’ve been challenging ourselfs to write a Six Sentence Story in only six short sentences. Not critical of anyone, (or ourselfs, for that matter); we will surely continue to celebrate the unbridled liberty offered by the use of feral semi-colons. However, we’re liking this new fictional couple, Rue DeNite and Rocco and thought to spend some time with them after their sucessful mission to Miami on behalf of their employer, Lou Ceasare.]Prompt word:
EXTRACT
“No, really.”
“Swear to God.”
“I grew up in the southern part of the state and was a Double-Hormone Threat: Class Valedictorian and a three-sport letterman in my Senior year, almost got to be Yearbook editor, but had to have a tooth extracted the day of elections.”
Rocco slowed the car from, ‘Stolen-on-a-whim‘ down to ‘Rental-with-a-significant-deductible‘ miles-per-hour and took the exit at a speed that reminded Rue why God invented convertible sports cars.
Pulling herself back into the open car, Kasia smiled from behind a light-brown curtain of wind-coiffed hair, “But ‘Hobbomock‘ High School, dude, even for New England, that’s gotta be a made-up name; that or conqueror’s guilt is finally getting to the minds of the Town Fathers.”
Michael’s laughter, boisterous enough to stimulate the drive-up box at the McDonalds at the traffic light into asking, “What can I get for you?” created a small, moving and self-contained happiness that Rue DeNite had forgotten she’d once taken for granted.

“use of feral semicolons” <– BRILLIANT!
So…are these six sentences going to add up to be a BIGGER story!? So kewl!
thankee Senora Cynthia
well, the thing is I enjoy spending time with certain characters that inhabit a certain world (current-day Earth, for the most part) and see what kind of adventures they have
Maybe summer is not over yet.
Thank you.
Everyone has surprises in their backstories.
Excellent six.
these two are sorta growing on me but I have a certain plot issue that I might have painted myself into a corner on
I especially liked Rocco slowing the car from “from, ‘Stolen-on-a-whim‘ down to ‘Rental-with-a-significant-deductible‘ miles-per-hour”. Nice tale! Rue DeNite is having a good time.
She deserves it! Going through what she has (in the story)
What a pleasant drive with friends.
yeah… that’s kinda what I got out of writing it
We just want that wonderful Jag!!!
ikr?
I’m convinced that God invented the E-type Jaguar, and I always have been!
totally
Yeah, think Rue and Rocco are my favorite “couple”. Match made in – well they both deserve a little fun!
“… took the exit at a speed that reminded Rue why God invented convertible sports cars. Pulling herself back into the open car, Kasia smiled from behind a light-brown curtain of wind-coiffed hair,…”
I was in that convertible. Fun Six.
true
(Insider info: I had 2 references to Rue by her real name Kasia. Reduced that to one time. Didn’t think her dual identities have been sufficiently established to avoid confusion.)
