This week's entry to the club of very awesome writers in the blog-hop of the Sixers was a gift from the Gods. Seriously. I was just doing my IT Infrastructure homework/lab. I still have so much to do, but being able to take my mind off it for a while and work with a different region of my brain keeps me focused.
The weekly prompt words for the Sixes are provided by Denise, and you can access all the entries at the link-up.
the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #14
"Fuck, FUCK, FUUCK!" Aurelia screeched at the top of her lungs as the hot coffee dripped down her legs and all the Post-it notes she had just finished reorganizing by importance.
To make the scene even more dramatic, I have decided that while she ran to the kitchen nook to get a rag—in a RUSH—she banged her small toe full force into the corner of one of the cabinets.
By now we can imagine her jumping up and down on one foot and running her beautiful mouth to show the even more beautiful ladylike vocabulary she has…
Anyway, after some panic drying and cleaning, the notes had nothing but ink and coffee stains on them—naturally—Aurelia thought that this meant they were not as important at all and set her way towards the cafe.
She had heard that one of her favorite sixers—Misky—had found her way into the SSC&B and was doing revisions on her work.
As expected—call it professional curiosity of a wannabe-author-or-whatnot—but scratching off her own words had been her favorite pastime activity—no-fricking-way would she pass on a chance to witness someone else do it.

My goodness… I’m feeling so bad for Aurelia when she got burned by a coffee and got her small toe hurt. Meanwhile, I’m so grateful for Misky! Hope Aurelia gets better soon… 🙏
And yes, you can definitely haunt my inbox! ☺️
I also felt a little—teeny-tiny—bit sorry for her as I yet again put ther through what one might call what-a-great-day…
But am also thankful I had a reason to make her return to the café. The fan-girling-me screeched last week already when I saw Misky 😂.
Yay!
And thanks for the comment!
Also, am glad I have the permission to haunt…
I got a hairline fracture on my toe a few weeks back, and it still hurts. The ache is relatable.
Oh no. Ouch! Hopefully it will not hurt soon.. .
What a brilliant Six! Oops about the coffee and the ink, plus hurting her small toe while cursing – loved her beautiful ladylike language in this bit!
Thank you so much!
Aaah, you are such a sweetheart to send me a shout-out, thank you …but oh dear — Aurelia must be careful with hot coffee and her poor little toe. I once caught my little toe on the edge of a sliding shower door, and broke it … the toe, not the door, and all they could do was to tape one toe to the next toe, and just wait out the healing process.
Perhaps iced coffee might be safer …
Ouch. Ouch and ouch. But I read your story from my e-mail and I was like. Woohoo! Misky! Wooo! 😂
Loves yours a lot though I haven’t commented yet…
Wait! What?!?
sorry to interrupt, Misky… I got blind-sided by a visual as I read your Comment, specifically “Perhaps iced coffee might be safer…”
no, wait, that doesn’t make any sense relative the mental image of sticking one’s toe in to a glass of iced….
(shit, where’s the ‘Never Mind’ button on this page?)
lol
The “never-mind” button lol…
Is that a request 😂😂😂?
I don’t wanna give you one as I fully enjoy your comments!
May that toe heal and all the burns from the hot coffee disappear.
what a fun Six!
(mad wordage skills in forcing the Reader to step aside as the protag danced on one foot)
and, of course, ‘the Cafe’… it is magical in making everything fun and imaginative a step closer to real
Thank you so much Clark and that cafe is like an arcade game only difference is we play it with our words.
How awesome!
Typical curses are not enough in such instances… try a more surrealistic approach in healing curse phrases … No, I am not reciting mine in public😆
And… a chance ( unwanted) to practice your growls😉
I would rather not show the untypical curses here… Aurelia, even as a part of me, and as absurd as me, is still too young to use my chanting words haha.
About the growls… Ummm. I do come with sound effects if that makes sense so … In reality people (neighbours) do hear it more often (not that I want them to).
So, you write all these post-it-notes and decide they’re not important. What hurts the most, spilling hot coffee on yourself, stubbing your toe, or destroying your post-it-notes. Things to ponder. Life is just one calamity after another.
I think I would love to say the post-it notes but I have a secondary option for that (open my diary)… I wonder what is worse, hot coffee or stubbiing my toe… If I remember correctly… When I stubbed my toe I forgot about the coffee pain so… Probably it is the toe. Haha 😂. But there is still good stuff in life… Like the café…
Thank you for the comment.
That certainly was dramatic, even I yelled ouch when she stubbed her toe – I held back from using expletives though, I’ll leave that to her.!
Aww. Thank you Keith for the comment and am sorry about the drama haha 😅.
Revision in action! Perfect cure for a day not working out the way we’d like.
Yes! Indeed! I loved Misky’s piece so much. It was really fun and I had to retaliate somehow.
I think we can all relate, having spilled coffee and having had our toe show it’s best use is furniture detector at one time or another. The cafe is open and waiting.
Furniture detector 😂… At my childhood home we had a raised floor in front of our fireplace and we called it the IQ test hahah… Like how many times can you stub your toe lol…
I have screamed that very word in my car over insane drivers 😆. Aurelia has good cause and after her dance-a-rama, it’s either fight or flight and she can’t very well fight a cabinet, lol. Heading to the Cafe was an excellent decision!
Haha, hopefully the cabinets at the cafe are still intact when I return with Aurelia… But we will perhaps find out next week 😂.
