A Tough Negotiation

Prompts = Collector, Lawyer, Tough

‘Tough! No deal!’

Harry Windless, lawyer for a reclusive art collector, grimaced. He’d done deals with obstinate painters, egotistic sculptors, even criminally insane dioramaists. But this negotiation with a precocious four year old prodigy was taking the cake.

‘Mrs. Mundy, can I appeal to your better judgement?’

‘It’s her decision. And part of home schooling. You need to work with her.’

He didn’t know what else to offer. She didn’t want money, tickets to Disney (any of them), a pony, candy… He was lost.

‘You haven’t used the magic word!’

‘Umm… please?’

The girl smiled. ‘Now we can start talking.’
