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.

“Say hello to Lou for me,” despite my best efforts to leave her bedroom quietly, Leanne spoke the swaying and soft language of the HypoCaffeniates, a people known for spontaneous if not clumsy violence.
“What, no bacon and eggs to send your Knight off to battle?”
Laughter, a highly honored virtue among the women of HypoCaffenitia, rose from the dawn-dark bedroom…
“Surely you could bless me with a touch of medieval bling, an empowering benedictio militisto for my armor or… say an accolade?”
“Well, half right.”
Funny thing about Lou Caesare, for all of the mid-level crime boss thing, I wasn’t the slightest surprised that Radcliffe’s Chairperson of the Department of Cultural Anthropology and Advanced Semiotics was fond of him; the best I could figure out why that should be was simple: he was never not Lou Caesare, never tried to be anyone else, not for anyone or anything.
“I’ve decided not to stop in at the Bottom of the Sea before catching my flight to Chicago to check on a certain, insanely powerful and totally crazy woman by the name of Anya Claireaux.”

Casting. Who would you choose for Lou ( from any era)?
ayiiee! tough one!
off the top of my head (remember to go back in time for the correct age):
Burt Young (as Rodney Dangerfield’s chauffeur in ‘Back to School’)
or Frank Dileo as Tuddy Cicero the pizza shop owner in ‘Good Fellas’
Dileo is perfect. Young could be Lou at his beginnings.
the Bottom of the Sea… the Early Years!!
lol
Lou will always just be Lou (and stay out of his way).
this is true
Lou is a great person to have on your side and nice to spend time with him even if one person removed.
Thank you
Good old Lou, eh? Plus, I’m looking forward to reading the next episode!
thanks! Chris
“HypoCaffeniates,” ….known for spontaneous if not clumsy violence.” 😆
Of course, Leanne would know Lou. Who the hell doesn’t she know!
Next scene with Anya? Step back, lol
(Good question, Nick. Clark, of your 2 picks, I have to go with Frank Dileo.)
Nice description of Lou: “he was never not Lou Caesare”. He didn’t care what anyone thought about him.
that is one quality I wouldn’t mind having
Anya Claireaux, eh? Now that’s an appointment I look forward to reading.
I’ll be the first to admit, she a fun ‘character’ to write (take dictation from)
