Prompt: Imagine being into a 1950's diner. What kind of person would find this setting comfortable? What does this person love to do? What kind of things does this person fear? What would be a dream come true scenario? Now take this information and write a short story based on what you determined in this setting. Nothing to elaborate, just have fun! --------------- The Poet and the Bartender on stools worn, like his shoes, he sits still under the dimmed light listening to the hum, sipping the blues, from the jukebox, the music of the night for here is where all dreamers come to this 1950's smoky bar, a haven for some closed in a world unseen, with ghosts of cigarette smoke, rising up like love taking a toll in his life, but now, long-lost and her words still hurt, yet a treasure trove for they are the reasons all dreamers come to this 1950's smoky bar, a haven for some the bartender wipes the counter clean, fully knowing where this poet’s been and how the music echoes his soul for in his heart, her words take their toll for they are the reasons all dreamers come to this 1950's smoky bar, a haven for some the bartender hands a napkin to him for the poet's scrawls, with ink smudging thin so his thoughts from within he pours out to part while Dean Martin sings "Always in my heart" for it is the reason why all dreamers come to this 1950's smoky bar, a haven for some and he'll write, with every sip, wrapped in smoke of cold city streets, the war, and being broke or this poet will let something go, a bit too slow, or he'll choke on words only bartenders know for they are the reasons all dreamers come to this 1950's smoky bar, a haven for some |
