The Bartender was setting up behind the bar and Mimi was counting up the till, just as the red-head writer, aka the Raconteuse, walked into the Six-Sentence-Café-&-Bistro, greeting them both, ‘is he in?’ she asked, as her eyes swiveled over the long corridor where the kitchen was and then the office where the usual Proprietor was often in there.

She could hear that Tom was singing loudly in the kitchen, were he was making bread as the tiny bubbles began to rise and foam; then one of the double doors opened as Tom said, ‘it will be ready in a couple of hours,’ and he stopped – ‘you’re here, how lovely,’ as he waved across to the Raconteuse, ‘I don’t see you enough,’ he said, ‘but come this way, I can see that you need to have a word in the office down there; Tom then winked, as she pushed the other side of the door.

The tall, thin man stood in the Manager’s office, and leaned out, ‘come in, my dear,’ as he gestured to the two cozy chairs, ‘tell me.’

‘Last week I saw someone who looked like me; I was sitting in my usual alcove, and I saw her skirting around the room, and then she quickly ran out again – she was pretending to be me!’

‘Well,’ said the tall, thin man, ‘I saw both of you – two red-head women – a real person and a fictional person, but come on, that’s normal here, isn’t it?’

  5. is there any other kind, i.e. both fictional and real.

    one might even say that the true temptation in a certain Garden wasn’t the knowledge of Good and Evil, rather it was being comfortable of the juxtaposition of the two… the divine nature within, given Mankind’s err history, kinda needs to be though of as fictional… except among certain people who are gifted to the point of accepting both

  19. While there is a shift and reconstruction going on – you can still go back to previous prompts (going to ‘Blog’ and read the links and posts to the prompts. All verse/stories have a 99 word limit, but some folks do stories in series of 99 words to get more said.
