Six Sentence Story: Room 215

The amazing thing about Room 215 at the Six Sentence Cafe & Bistro is that no one knew it was there until the red-headed writer opened its door and just walked in. Then the tall, thin man followed her to open a secret chamber hidden in that delightfully mysterious room.

After hearing about the room’s mechanical machines and the strange, very short man that emerged from it I went to look for myself. I was wondering if maybe I might find a story there, marvelous and melancholic under its ancient dust, about King Arthur’s Camelot or the Starkeeper’s Carousel to tell others back in the cafe.

However, no matter how many times or how slowly I went up and down the hall where the wonderful room was supposed to be, I couldn’t find it though I had no doubt it was there. Although I came back empty handed, at least as far as marvelous stories go, I still could tell about how I was not going to give up the search.

  1. damn, Frank! “We’re gonna need a bigger bookcase…”*

    What an excellent addition/extension of the current SSC&B group story!

    Your Six adds to the ‘solidifying of the Café (as a ‘real’ location) while continuing the current narrative in such a manner that keeps your character available to the rest of us that we might interact with.

    And…and!!! Not for nothin’ but how much did you have to pay your Corinthian writing staff to come up with perfect ‘Poetry, Short Prose and Walking’ inflection without missing a beat.

    am Reading/Commenting on Thursday morning, but in reverse order. Can’t wait to see what Aurelia is up to.

    Thanks for joining all of us at the Café

  3. Mimi is correct about the hallway, Frank. Ask any of the Proprietors. For sure it’s definitely “not quite canny”. Happy to hear you’re not giving up the search for Room 215!
