The White Knight, the Dear Damsel and the Dastardly Dragon
Once upon a time there was a dear damsel in distress. She blamed the dastardly dragon for all her woes. A white knight in shining armor rescued her.
Over time the damsel’s fiery words torched the knight’s castle destroying this and then that as she blamed the knight for all her woes.
The dragon, with a nod from the knight, rescued the dear damsel from the dastardly knight.
The knight lived happily ever after.

SSC&B: Rhyme, Meter and Heart
I went back to the Six Sentence Cafe & Bistro and found the tall, thin man setting the automaton up in the foyer as Doctor Zoltan Mystic and Seer who apparently could answer any question for 25 cents though he specialized in fortunes.
Finding a quarter in my pocket, I asked Zoltan, “What does a poem consist of?” and Zoltan raised up a card upon which I read: RHYME, METER AND HEART, BUT YOU BETTER USE THE PROMPT WORD FOIL SOMEWHERE IN THIS TALL TALE OF YOURS BEFORE YOU RUN OUT OF SENTENCES.
Wow, I thought, that was a more accurate answer than AI would have given me.
Perhaps reading my mind Zoltan gratuitously raised up another card upon which I read: I CAN EVEN WRITE THAT POEM FOR YOU AND FAKE THE HEART JUST LIKE YOU WOULD.
Wondering now if he was any better than AI, I inserted another quarter to ask him if he ever ran out of cardboard stock upon which he wrote those messages.
Up popped another card which read: HOW WOULD I KNOW?
Denise offers the prompt word “foil” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

Six Sentence Story: All X’s No O’s
Jeff asked the gent who greeted him, Is this heaven or the other place? The gent searched for Jeff in the quantum computer and up popped a document giving full details of Jeff’s judgment.
So which is it?
Jeff was prepared to argue that he had been as good as the next guy ever could have been to foil any attempt to send him to that other place. After reading the details of the judgment the gent turned to Jeff with a welcoming smile.
It says right here that you have been assigned a room in a decent-enough-for-you mansion to be shared with all your exes and their exes and their exes’ exes and those exes’ exes’ exes and so on, so you tell me where you are.

Trail: South Beach of Miami Beach
Where should I go this week? Miami Beach is about 7 miles long with a north, mid and south beach. South Beach is the most famous.
When we are in the area we stay in the north beach area, but we will use bicycles or the trolley to go to the south, park them and then walk around one step at a time.
