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:
SIGN
Deciding the use of her credit card to purchase clothing from any non-Order of Lilith fashion collection would be underestimating both Brother Lymphocytus and the Mother Superior, Sister Aclima put her faith in the people of Manhatten.
“Yes, Sister?”
Standing in the middle of a busy sidewalk in Hell’s Kitchen could be likened to body surfing at Inkwell Beach, now but a distant memory of one magical summer on the Vinyard for the former Kayla Sheperd;
“Could you please tell me how to get to the Salvation Army Thrift Store?”
As soon as the woman completed her directions, Sister Aclima deliberately stepped-left as her benefactor stepped-right, with the anticipated collision being the result. Confirming her initial impression that the young nun was from out-of-town and therefore lacked the navigation skills of those native to the city, the helpful woman woman laughed and continued on her way, minus her wallet;
“Like riding a bike, eh Sister?”
Equipped with credit cards, (for immediate use), a bit of cash for a rainy day and renewed self-confidence, courtesy of the sign from the Creatrix that she was on the right path, Sister Aclima, her younger self dancing incorporeally to her side, went shopping for disguises

You can’t even trust a woman of the cloth these days.
was ever thus, but modern times try to convince us that the exception is the rule
Uh, oh. Set loose in the “concrete jungle”, let’s hope she retains more Sister Aclima than the former Kayla Sheperd.
remains to be seen, though, as with most matters of the soul, both are viable
Sister Aclima knows how to get cash when she needs it.
lol… there is that
Well now, that’s an interesting skill set.
this is true
That’s the way to do it!
lol plus that tidal wave of black cloth habit… who’s gonna suspect a pickpocket?
She’s more than a wonderful woman… and then she will be disguised – excellent!
Plus, I adore that song, JJ!
I am inclined to agree!
love Joe Jackson! used one of his on the TToT this weekend as well
