Time to write… (Tales from the SSC&B)

The red-headed writer (aka la Raconteuse) had just sat down in her usual booth, all seemed fine, as she started to open her laptop, as she glanced over to the bar where her usual suspects (meaning the Proprietors) – although of course they were not usual suspects at all.

However, she had realised that there were a couple of people around now who she felt were big time hoodlums – like Lou and Rosetta, still they were pretty cool and clearly well-bred and ‘interesting’, and for that she was fine about it.

Then she saw a written note inside her laptop, and that was weird: who had written that? – she didn’t recognise the writing, and why did it say – ‘this is very misleading, isn’t it’; she stared around for a bit, but the only thing she was sure, was that someone had been sitting here just before.

There was no signature, and just six words, how can that help, she wondered; but never worry about that for the moment: time to write!

She had been doing some poetry earlier; it was a good exercise to take more than one meaning; she’d used ‘witch’ and ‘which’, but what next – ‘rose’ or a pretty ‘rose’; but meanwhile, she was also writing a tiny story, one which only used 100 words.

But now she was thinking about food – some nice bread and a lovely moist and rare steak; and suddenly she giggled out loud, that was a perfect word for this… ‘stake’ (poor vampire).

  9. don’t tell anyone! but it just occurred to me, after reading your Six, that the true fun of the Six Café & Bistro lies in being one of the Proprietors…

    big time hoodlums – like Lou and Rosetta, enter the scene, fictional characters but dangerous nonetheless (in the context of the Story) yet la Raconteuse is as cool as, well, the genuinely cool Proprietors are…

    what fun

  20. What’s up with the Café, lately, lol. When was the last time there was this kind of intrigue and drama? And who left that note for la Raconteuse?? How did they know she would get to the bottom of whatever it was it said?!

    Fun scene, Chris. (really, who left that note?! 😆)
