Six Sentence Story: The Quiet Hours

After I stood to say goodbye to Lou and the tall, thin man walked him to the door, I sat down to finish my coffee noticing that the quiet hours were beginning when the Gatekeeper would play music outside the Six Sentence Cafe & Bistro. Thinking of that new dancer, Holli Spirit, at Lou’s club got me wondering if I could work her into the storyline somehow until I heard a snort come from the voice.

“Weren’t you the one running my mouth like it was on fire when I was talking to Lou?” I asked him.

You didn’t shut me up, did you?

“I almost did.”

I know, but what counts is you didn’t.


Denise offers the prompt word “fire” to be used in this week’s Six Sentence Stories.

With thanks to the Gatekeeper for recommending this album in a comment last week.

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.

  1. nice!

    we (all of us at the Café currently) are stopping and reflecting on recent events.

    the ttm may go back to Room 215 and try to figure out what should be done for the abandoned automaton.
