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:

“I’m telling you, you’ve nothing to worry about; I’m more than capable of taking care of myself,”
“Sorry I’m late, I was caught in a three-car reflection and just managed to walk away with my life.”
“’bout time, you think this is a time-plus contract, your intel better goddamned be good.”
“Hey, maybe I shouldn’t be interfering, but your uncle has a point.”
“If there is anything you need that might facilitate your meeting, know that we’re at your… well, not disposal, of course, more a resource.”
One-third Jane Goodall, one-quarter a kegger at the United Nations and two-thirds college dorm adolescent’s dream of the pleasures of adulthood… while gambling savants in Vegas would peg the chances of success in terms of useful conclusions as slim, however, as an anthropologic entertainment, it was a sure thing; the Proprietors, varying perspectives afforded by their individual preference of a neon-shadowed aerie, laughed the laugh of those who, thrown into the pit have clawed their way out, humanity torn and bruised but still intact and, somehow, more sublime.

I love the ending: thrown into a pit, clawing to get out, torn, bruised (but intact) and yet sublimely laughing.
thanks, Frank… it is quite the group of characters, no?
Always with a laugh, or at least a smile, because it is the only way forward.
:}
Definitely more sublime.
ps: your magnificent run on sentences have greatly increased my lung capacity.
thank you!
Well, that sounds normal on a Saturday night over at that place!
Brilliant ending 🙌

It started differently, but the last paragraph is pure Clark magic. Kudos to you!
thanks! Reena
“Sorry I’m late, I was caught in a three-car reflection and just managed to walk away with my life.”
Great bit from Ian.
Indeed, the Proprietors are “more sublime”, for all of it.
this is true
