Friday -the Wakefield Doctrine-

Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

As is encumbent upon us, this being Friday and all, we proffer a story from the picture that we saw. jenne and ceayr watch with evident glee and all the mad bloggers submit their tales to thee. yea celebrate, it’s the ‘hop that all await, the Unicorn Challenge photo prompt.

 

 

“What the…”

The sky pressed lightly on the rolling hills, brown streaks of hooves and carts, traceries of Man and animal.

“Where am I?”

While normally inert, beyond a fecund earthiness, the ground gave way to pungent exhalations of the herd.

“Better question: What am I?

…Holy shit!”

The sun hid behind the overcast grey sky, dominion established beyond any need to blaze.

“Those Eastern guys were on the money. Jesus Chr… err Jumpin’ Krishna.

Best be careful. No telling what the residency requirements are with this reincarnation stuff. Take it slow and remember your Douglas Addams: ‘Don’t Panic'”

Although developed over a tenure that claims origin in the Garden, the newest god, Practicality, was supreme.

“Look around. OK peaceful group. I must be fully transmigrated… transferred, whatever the word, ’cause I’m hungry. And would you look at that, a whole bunch of food…”

Serving Man, a directive imposed on all other Life, though not clearly sanctioned by the creator, is the reality.

“…still hungry, though. You know what I’m really got a craving for? A big china plate with a Maginot Line of salty French Fries surrounding my favorite meal in the a world.

What? We’re all going to head over to that truck? Sure, be part of the herd, not a worry in the world.”

“…a flame-broiled extra rare hamburger.”

… uh oh”

Well, what exactly do you want to know? Whether I am a clark or a scott or roger? If you have to ask, then you need to keep reading the Posts for two reasons: a)to get a clear enough understanding to be able to make the determination of which type I am and 2) to realize that by definition I am all three.* *which is true for you as well, all three...but mostly one

    Oops, possible malfunction of the linguacode matrix here?
    Or ‘Panic now!’ (brown cow! -Sorry.)
    Fun story, Clark, in which that ubiquitous Garden still has its place.
    Really enjoyed it.

    Oh dear, a touch of the old anthropophagy coming up!
    Excellent take, Clark, clever and funny.

    Oh dear. He must have been bearing a heavy karma load. At least his incarnation seems to have been brief, that’s a mercy. You’ve given some gorgeous morsels of language in this. I’m loving – ‘While normally inert, beyond a fecund earthiness, the ground gave way to pungent exhalations of the herd.’

    I also love your central idea – very inventive. Getting a good idea, it’s 95% of the writing battle. One you seem to win week after week.
