Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
See what happens when we try a photo-prompt from our friends to the east…(way East, so East they’re having lunch as we write). We referring, of course, to jenne and ceayr‘s hangout, the Unicorn Challenge.
Simple rules, subtly provocative photos and a gang of writers with mad talent at the wordage.

About clarkscottroger
Masterful piece, clark, that works in both the real and the surreal.
I couldn’t leave a reply either, Clark, but I wanted very much to tell you this is superb.
Creative, innovative, funny and brutally real.
thanks, man.
(was like, when we were kids at a certain age and dumped the model car parts on the rug and started to assemble, sans written instructions
yeah, the places we go (when in thrall of the muse)
Beautiful, sensitive and inspired, Clark
The layout supports the idea and the content perfectly.
ty, Miz Four-nine
This is great! We definitely had the same muse.
“… avoid the past” — great advice. Impossible to do.
whatever other kind of useful advice is there?
lol
I read this piece a second time. Not for not “understanding” it.
Reminders are necessary regardless how painful.
Most excellent, Clark.
Excellent take on this prompt, Clark.
Great little song, too.
Thanks, Nance
Very nicely done.
thank you, Mimi
(VERDICT) Delightfully different, well done, Sir!
