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 there is but one rule: 1) the story must be exactly six sentences in length and b) the prompt word must be apparent, evident and/or otherwise referenced
Tom and I are writing a Serial Six Sentence Story: ‘…of Heroes and the MisUnderstood‘. (If you’re just starting, this link will provide the whole story, right to where these new installments from us continue the narrative.)
The following (Part 0.5) is a little break in the action. Not quite a quiz. That said, a certain Reader once observed: ‘The best stories have characters with whom we simply enjoy spending time.’ We trust you will enjoy our little interlude.
Prompt word:
CORE
“Look, although all this international intrigue is very cool, don’t take this the wrong way, but your group, a Coordination of supervillains, well,” ~~~”Funny you say that, even though as a kid, I really believed I would grow up to be a superhero, I’ve reconciled myself to being a supervillain,”~~~ “Thing is, what makes me happy in life is dancing at Lou’s place and seeing my kid on vacation at the boarding school,”~~~ “You want to have a lot of kids too?”
“Listen, just checked with the pilot, well, he said we just broke up through five thousand two hundred and eighty feet of altitude and rising… I know we kinda just met and all, but would you care to join me in the aft restroom?”~~~”Hell, yeah…. but, being… er a bit older than me, you sure you can handle excessive G forces… no, wait, still got my cuffs, so lay on MacDuff!”
“The Bard wrote: ‘There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Leftenant, than are dreamt of in your philosophy’; might I offer the following question-slash-invitation, ‘How much do you know of Adam’s first wife?'”
“There is hope for this new generation, even if the vices are digital and the passion virtual, as long as their core values are intact, my web grows stronger with each passing day;”~~~ “Are you fuckin’ kidding me right now?”~~~ “In my very, very long life I have come to accept that Avarice, as found in a certain Garden, was both curse and gift but you, Constantin, are both my Uriel and Raphael.”
Damn! How fun, Clark. Love it. And… and! I believe I identified all “voices”.
hugh compliment is all that (comnent) is

Sassy, all of them.
FYI Mimi, I just tried to open yours and got this message: “Sorry, the page you were looking for in this blog does not exist.”
I think it’s a scheduling/timing thing, try in ‘the morning’* betcha it connects through
* a course, this being the virtual world, that is probably a near null time statement lol
ikr?
What a hoot …. yo!
thankee Miz ‘teller
I was wondering when you would enter the ” -el” characters, master Weaver…
It certainly makes a great montage to use the ” panopticon ” gaze.
new word for the day, thanks!
(always a pleasure)
I especially liked the reference to Hamlet. I had to look the quote up to find out it came from Act 1 Scene 5, unless the internet is wrong. Given that we’re 40 years past 1984, who knows?
Nice reference to Eve as well. She did make a mess of things after talking to some snake. Adam’s main fault was listening to her. Of course, he also ate the fruit.
thank you, Frank
Great! I don’t know how you do it but I’m glad you do!
appreciate your saying that, Keith
Fab!
ty, CH!
