Almost Halloween… (Tales from the SSC&B)

The red-headed writer (aka la Raconteuse) had been munching her snap, crackle and pop for breakfast, she ate rather quickly, then dumped her bowl in the sink, and stuffed the box into the cupboard; ‘it’s going to be busy,’ she grinned to herself.

She had several messages to do, and then she hurried down the six floors holding her usual big bag, she opened the main door and felt the cold breeze outside, but at least it wasn’t wet, as she made her way to the Six-Sentence-Café-and-Bistro.

Even as she walked through the streets, she could hardly miss all this nonsense around, almost every house had at least one pumpkin or ghost on their stoops; she’d even craned her head right up to see what looked like a couple of witches on the roof with their broomsticks.

It was still pretty early as she entered the lovely Café, and what a great atmosphere it was; she could tell that Mimi had a big hand in making the place look really rather spooky; there’re pumpkins galore, little glowing lights around the walls and even tiny bats on the tables.

La Raconteuse removed her big bag and her coat, shoving them into the back of the bar, while looking around to find something useful to do – polishing perhaps, as she grabbed the first thing she found.

A moment later Tom appeared from the kitchen, ‘trick or treat,’ he grinned; ‘oh, by the way there’s a new guest arrived,’ he pointed, ‘it’s Reena.’

    • Oh, if only we could bring those two gargoyles! However, they had other plans. It seems they had been in the Louvre Museum in Paris a couple of weeks ago. They’ve gone to ground at the moment, but we’ll keep in touch!

  13. Halloween … at the SSC&B does it get much more meta?

    excellent mood setting, looking forward to a visitor to the Café

    (what I love about the Six Sentence Café & Bistro is how it is so universal in it’s appeal and even in it’s location… (they say, there is a SSC&B wherever there is gathered more than one writer; a stable and shared location for characters to just kick back and relax!)

    fun Six

  15. Halloween growing up was an incredibly fun time of year. Always a creativity blitz as kids (and some adults!) would go crazy on the costumes, lol. The SSC&B is always up for celebrations like that. Reena popping in was a great treat!
