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:
MARCH
“I trust you have all the wtfs out of your system and we can have a constructive conversation,” the voice in the Audi’s sound system was confident, casual and, had the driver been anyone other than Rosetta Storme, quite scary in a “But we’d like to run a few more tests before we discuss our findings,” sorta way.
“First off, don’t know any of the whys and wherefores regarding your little friend’s non-responsive state, but I believe my experts when they tell me that your Ethan, having metaphorically marched off to 1973 is currently beyond our reach, he’s as safe as any of us, unless the car gets jacked but we’re still in rural Pennsylvania, so what’re the chances of that happening… unless you’re planning on taking a side trip through Amish country.”
“For the record, What the Fuck?!” Rosetta’s effort at a stern push-back faltered as simple, non-sinister laughter filled the interior of the car; feeling the start of a grin, the younger woman continued, “What is this Time Mechanism thingie we’re supposed to intercept that has my uncle Lou so concerned for my well-being? And while we’re on the topic, are you telling me you can protect me from a secret society of killer nuns who, when not running soup kitchens and feeding the poor in Whitechapel and Mother-Theresa-ing the starving children of Monrovia are going to take over the world?”
“Gotta be honest, I like your style chica… we’ll have fun and, if you don’t disappoint me, I might find a way to rescue your Sophomore…before he gets stuck in some time loop and your only hope to get romantic with him again will involve a boatload of sildenafil citrate and a weekend pass from the staff at the Happy Trails Nursing Home.”

I just hope the Sophomore doesn’t try mixing the little blue pills and the killer nuns! hehehe
lol (Warning! If novenas continue for more than four hours, consult a priest)
Two great gals on a posh fast car and on an excellent road trip… plus remembering those fantastic killer nuns, what can be better, apart from sorting out Ethan?
I suspect he’ll pull out of it in time
The secret society of killer nuns… I wonder what that looks like.
Full Disclosure: this reference is to a rogue chapter of the otherwise totally benign Order of Lilith. At least as they manifest in the fictional world of most of my stories
Now this is getting interesting 🤗
yeah I agree (while concurrently we have two other subplots that we need to get up to speed on)
Your reply to Chris made me shake my head…boys!
Whatever they need to do together, I hope it works.
lol yeah, me too
lol – I had to look up sildenafil citrate, thanks for the info! though I’m a bit confused at the assumption that a side trip through Amish country would increase the chances for a car-jacking. I didn’t know Amish folks where into that sort of mayhem…fun six!
ah my subterranean/subtle? humor?
(“Get ye out of the car! Throw Hekiziah your purse and the keys. Isaiah 30:21 “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it'”. …bitches”
Thelma and Louise, although I’m not sure that Ethan is Brad Pitt’s equal.
(purely as an alternative to shift the paradigm would you entertain, HAL and Dave?)
(laughing) excellent, and preferable imo.
Seems those killer nuns and their murderous habits (pardon the pun) are still bubbling away in their noxious caldron beneath the surface.
yeah gonna be factor in this serial story…
ed. While they claim the mantle of the Order of Lilith (the oldest and most benign of anti-patriarchal groups), they are a splinter (taken to the dark side, if you will) not sure why I feel the need to make that distinction… wait, I know, ’cause I’ve used them as…as whatever the cool term in rhetoric is for ‘the good guys’
You know, a small pride of killer nuns might be just what we ALL need to get through…just sayin’.
lol
I hope Ethan’s not in a time warp. I wonder what the killer nuns are up to and how Anya got inside the car’s audio equipment, but that it what makes one come back to find out what happens next.
dude! I gotts say, your Comments tend to be very perceptive when it comes to sub-lot, sub-text and sub-marine sandwiches! ok kidding, not the sandwich thing but yeah, in my ‘what the heck is gonna happen next’ section of my writing mind, there is that possibility
The repartee between Rosetta and Anya is quite entertaining. Little does Rosetta know she’ll be one of the countless to eventually give Anya a marker. And she will. For Ethan.
this is true
