As am formatting/editing my this weeks' entry to the sixers pub, I am listening to one of the playlists I created on YouTube Music. Not that it has much to do with the unhinged plot Chris sent me on with her six this week, but I thought I would share it.
As always, the weekly prompts are shared by one of the proprietors to the storyline—Denise—and all the other entries can be found at the link-up.
Also, it seems that our Nervous Poet is here to cause chaos in the plot again... and again... and again... oops???
the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #11
Aurelia gave her best to stay in the moment as she sat on the barstool, reaching out her hand to greet her new friend—but something felt off—as if a dozen tiny legs were dancing on her back, so she excused herself to the bathroom.
"Oh, it's fricken' itchy too," she muttered as she locked the door behind her and began fighting her way out of her preppy shirt, but as luck would have it... it got stuck to the clasp of her bra...
If one positioned themself close enough to the door, a "fuck off" followed by a loud bang could be heard—as she did a full spin and crashed her arm against the washbasin—and while continuing to indulge in her ladylike vocabulary, she inspected the fabric only to throw it into the corner with disgust.
"Fucking earwigs!"
She ran out of the bathroom shrieking, completely forgetting that by now, the only thing covering her upper body was a black, floral, and beautifully laced push-up bra...
Quite a fricken' "fire" scene—if I may say so myself—but our traumatized little poet ran into one of the private booths, feeling her face burn up with the heat of a thousand suns.

Dude!!*
way to liven up the Café!
*highest of writerly compliments
Aww,lol,thank you so much!
I had to look up what an “earwig” was. AI said they were “harmless to people”, but clearly annoying.
They are harmless, and I very rarely get uneasy… I love many bugs and insects… But something about earwigs makes me go YUCK!
It doesn’t help that as a kid I took one on my hand… Went to my parent and asked: what is this? They made a yuck face and the name is pretty much translated in Estonian… I asked why such a name… They told me at night they crawl into your ear… I have been like yuck ever since lol.
That’s why attractive and clean lingerie is always a necessity. You never know when those f#c%ing earwigs are going to show up!
Haha. I fricking think so too… thank you!
Eish! I would say about those earwigs (although they are quite sweet it seems). Anyway, I’m sure someone will have a handy t-shirt or something behind the bar. Mimi or me, probs.
Eish! Indeed. Nasty things… Hopefully the situation gets sorted on the next issues…
Great scenario I’m not suprised she freaked out – hopefully someone will have a scarf or something she can conjure into a top 😄
Thank you, hopefully so .. otherwise she has to snatch some of those curtains or something…
An old superstition: earwigs would climb into a person’s ear as they slept, lay eggs, and this was the cause of madness. Just goes to show, there were a lot of bugs in those old hay mattresses.
Oh no ahh!!! My granny and mummy told me that and that’s stuff of nightmares!!!
You should have seen my face as I read that comment… I was like: 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Those earwigs are very disgusting! Hygiene of the lingerie is always a necessity, or they’ll slowly climb to our ears during our sleep. A nightmare!
AAA! Bully! Yucky.
Thank you for commenting though 😃.
Oh my goodness, I didn’t know where to look while reading this!
😂😂😂
Thank you!
Earwigs, the scourge of many, especially when inside your clothes. You acted with as much dignity as you can.
Oh, hello, thank god you can comment now. I was really worried here whether it’s my rate limits or something. Thank you for trying again 😁.
😆I can’t help it, imagining poor Aurelia going crazy – as would I!! Complete with a scream or two, lol. Hope the BarTender retrieved a smock from the kitchen for her.
I genuinely love bugs and spiders and weird animals… But earwigs and cockroaches make me squeal like a little girl… Ewwww.
Either the bartender got her a smock or Mimi did.
Lovely. Thank you Mimi
Nice 🙂🥂
😆 Earwigs? Hopefully Aurelia won’t resort to burning down the bathroom after that encounter 😂…
Burn, baby, burn 🔥
…At this point we will all sit in circle soon eating marshmallows…
