Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.
Hosted by Denise, constrained by a sentence limit (high and low) of six, there are worse ways to spend the remaining time you have on earth.
Prompt word:
SHED
“You can call me Brother Lymphocytus.”
Sister Aclima, the former Kayla Sheperd, laughed, not without some charity, “Oh dear, must I?”
With the urban semaphore of nods of the head, leading-shoulders and, when dealing with especially active pedestrian conditions, a full compliment of stride-lengths, i.e. shorter for turns and avoidance, longer for speed and when asserting the right-of-way on lunch hour sidewalks, her new companion held the door open to the broad steps down to street level.
Her guide was average height, above average musculature; at least to the extent discernible through a pair of celebrity-branded sweat pants, a warm-up jacket associated with a well-known and eponymous local professional baseball team.
“I am here to guide you to your next point of contact,” with the necessary tilt of his head to establish eye contact with his charge, the man shed any whimsicality imparted by the surprise character of their meeting and his casual dress, “if my Greek/Latin mashup of a name is awkward, just whistle.”
“The Order is nothing if not traditional when it comes to missions into the world of the Sons of Adam; that said, my mother never let me have a dog and surely Spirit Guide is nearly as noble a role, how about I just call you…Rover?”

Honestly. A good laugh.
ikr?
Brother Lymphocytus, lol
A very fun read, made lighter by Mr. Fogarty playing in the background.
Can’t say where the name appeared from… thank god for nicknames
Brother Lymphocytus? What a strange name he has. Yup, let’s call him Rover (or is that a car… giggling).
lol
yeah, sometimes the search for a (character’s) name leads us to very strange places (yes, is car too)
Rover sounds like a good nickname. I would have called him Fido, but Rover is better.
lol but not ‘Spot’! right?
You made me laugh, and so did Frank.
:}
Amusing tale, enjoyable track!
came entirely from the supporting character (Rover lol)
