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, it requires but one thing from participating writers: the story must consist of exactly six sentences.
Prompt word:
ADMISSION
“I know you’re old and, admit it or not, for New Year’s Eve, your idea of a good time is get all Savoy Row’d and go to a restaurant with a chick you never thought you had a shot with and, what do they say in the old movies, ‘Ring in the New Year’?” (#R,Stone)
(( how’d u get this # ))
“Seein’ how all you ‘Proprietors’ are scared of my… of Lou… yes ‘the mob guy’, jeez; take me to the Bottom of the Sea for a little visit, show my friends there I haven’t been kidnapped by weirdos and I’ll come back here with you for the Ring in the New Year thing.” (#Rosetta S)
(( lol ur scheduled to work ))
“Sure, wait, what the hell!! no worries, I’ll get one of the others to cover for me, at least anyone other than your psycho-Bartender bitch who, not for nothin’, is startin’ to impress me, you know what I’m saying… and, as my favorite professor in law school used to joke, admission is nine-tenths submission; now the Gatekeeper and Chris are almost too nice but your …your obeah woman, I just wanna stay in her good graces.” (#InUr Dreams)
(( here’s the deal: help each of the Proprietors get what they want most and we have a date; now delete my cell# ))

Yeah, Rosetta would do just that, lol.
Most excellent and fun Six, Clark.
thankee
She may have a skewed idea of both what I want and what (or whom) I fear. For one thing, I fear she does not understand her own worth, and where it comes from (same for Lou).
surely that is the root of most suffering
Rosetta might have a point when she says: “admission is nine-tenths submission”
yeah, will be interesting
