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 one rule: Six (no more, no less) Sentenceses to the story.
Previously, in our serial story…
Prompt word:
FLAKE
The tall, thin man tipped the wine bottle over the proffered glass until the briefest of up-pressure indicated sufficiency. He sat back in his wingback chair, the third side of a seating arrangement that was: leather in furniture fabric, dark-marble fireplace mantle and a day-at-the-beach in terms of ‘kick-back-and-relax’ vibe.
“Tom is still on sabbatical, but if you’d like we can order out,” Brushing at a suspiciously contrived flake of dandruff on the sleeve of, given he’d abandoned all hope of narrative credibility, his velvet smoking jacket, the Proprietor sipped his coffee.
“I have a confession to make,” the tall, thin man pressed his lips tightly together, as much a non-verbal mea culpa as he was capable, “I don’t remember, precisely,” a corner of his mouth twitched, “the painting you so enjoyed,” getting a bit rowdy, his head nodded upwards towards the wall above the fireplace.
“But, since the Six Sentence Café & Bistro is nothing if it is not the essence of virtual reality and creativity, say the word and I’ll conclude my dialogue with such a catalogue raisonné that your head’ll spin.”
The Author-Proprietor-otherwise-known-as-the Raconteuse, let her smile spark laughter and the two nearly-fictional characters enjoyed the quiet of the evening, as the April Fools Day3 celebration continued far into the night.

Good to have a little time in the quiet part of the evening, especially in the Manager’s Office with a couple of Proprietors / friends.
This is true
“Word.” I am presently awaiting the head spinning you offered me.
sorry for the last in line (postifying) but you are surely welcome at the SSC&B anytime your Muse whispers, “Say, lets got someplace different tonight!”
Good point that story telling is a combination of “virtual reality and creativity”.
especially here in the virtual world… admire writers who toil away creating characters and plot until totally complete, only then to see the reaction of the world and Readers
A good party doesn’t stop, it fades slowly into dreams.
3rd sentence, you killed me, lol.
Indeed, the Six Sentence Café & Bistro is “the essence of virtual reality and creativity.” A way station to all manner of stories and characters. How cool is that.
I concur
