This week's storyline for the Nervous Poet was also sourced from the red-headed writer (aka la Raconteuse). The prompt word—FUNCTION—was provided by Denise, aka the Bartender, host of the Six Sentence Story blog hop. All the stories for the week—within the café and outside of it—can be accessed through the link-up.

As I was writing this weeks' installment and editing it I was listening to Rotting Christ—one of my favorite bands from Greece.

the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #12

Aurelia paced back and forth in her tiny one-room while gripping onto a flyer Denise, aka the Bartender, had handed her with the strength of—umm—well… as if this flyer itself had the might to attack her.

"I don't know if I can do this… they called me the poetry freak… even took my notebook and read it in front of the whole class… everyone agreed… they performed it better than me… everyone will laugh at me!"

"The whole frickin' café saw you half-naked… someone woo-hooed… it can't get more embarrassing…" a fraction of her own consciousness tried to calm her, but it sent her shuffling through the Post-it notes on her desk instead.

"I know it is here… a perfect poem… only a few lines… I can handle a few lines…"

"Well, a few lines don’t really show anything, use the freaky one… it has impact…"

You see… they are planning a poetry slam party back at the café—a function with the whole darn assortment: dim lights, music, poetry, and… umm… PEOPLE?!?
