To my all readers(ha!ha!ha!)-----
The following outline will be your
inspiration for a short story.
I have given you the setting and the characters involved.
The rest is up to you.
Create a short story about the people in the bistro.
Have fun!
--------------------------------------------
The luncheon crowd has long gone back to work.
And the "Happy Hour" has yet to begin.
The waitresses have all left and the only person
on staff is the young man behind the bar.
The bistro is nearly empty save for three occupied tables.
At a table in the rear of the bistro sits an older man with gray hair.
Though very distinguished looking he must be about 70 yrs. old.
He is fiddling with his Blackberry.
Towards the centre of the bistro, along the left wall
sits a couple who look to be in their late fifties.
They are leaning in towards each other while quietly
dicussing something that leaves them both with serious expressions.
And finally, the third table is occupied
by a man in his late thirties to early forties.
He sits at a table looking onto the sidewalk and busy downtown street.
He keeps checking his watch.
A young, attractive woman breezes through the door of the bistro.
She seems to be late for an appointment.
As her eyes adjust to the change in light,
she unbuttons the top button of her coat.
Then she smiles in recognition.
At which table does she go and sit down?
What is her connection to the person(s)
at the table at which she sits?
What are their stories?
