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

Something a little different.

Friend of the Doctrine, Cynthia, who makes the Tasmanian Devil look like Eeyore when it comes to variety of skills and productivity in the world wide web. Naturally, we constantly saying/inveigling/inviting and, at times, pester her to write a Six Sentence Story.

Imagine our surprise when, in a Comment from her over the weekend, we’re like, “Mercy’s Sakes alive, that there is a Six Sentence Story! We asked our friend if she didn’t mind our posting the post on her behalf (Latin: loco parenthetical), and she be all, ‘Yes’.

This week’s Prompt Word:

FLUSH

The pink bathroom built in 1945 held many interesting stories and voices from over the years. Inside the mirror all the razors from a father passed, and past, told of shenanigans of yesteryear. As we started to renovate, we took care to preserve the echoes of those Who Came Before- even if it was all in ugly hues of pepto pink and milk chocolate brown. I added my own touches, intent upon stamping my own legacy, too. I added whites and greens to the palette of pinks and browns, in an array of complementary and natural colors. The last thing to change was the toilet: it was too big for its spot and each flush seemingly sprayed invisible droplets all over the tiny space; after the re-do, everything came together: past and present, including the ghosts of pink bathrooms past.
