Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
This is the Doctrine’s contribution to the Six Sentence Story bloghop.
Hosted by Denise, constrained by a sentence limit (high and low) of six, there are worse ways to spend the remaining time you have on earth.
Prompt word:
FILL
“Hello everyone, my name is Anya Clarieaux and I just know you’re gonna find what I have to tell you to be…well, let’s just say, interesting.”
Perhaps it was the superior quality of the Bistro’s sound system or maybe audio-enhancing digital magic in the phone system housed in the Omni Corporation building, who can say for sure, the effect was to place the contralto voice not merely in the room, but within a lover’s breath of each and every individual present.
From the cardinal points of the single round table with a cigarette scarred/drink-ringed lacquer top were heard, in tones ranging from outraged to offended; concerned to simple regret:
“Shit, that psycho bitch,”
“Who the fuck is that?”
“Uh oh”
“Damn!”
At various points along the bar that ran from just inside the entrance foyer down the width of the Café and ending at the perpetually under-lit hallway leading to the Manager’s office, were all the Proprietors who, being only human, (as far as anyone could prove) reacted as well:
“Awwrihgt Anya,”
“Pour l’amour de dieu, tha Bonne a rienne,”
“Wat op die wêreld,”
“Ti ston diávolo?”
“Wish I was a drummer, I’d totally play the fill from ‘In the air Tonight'”

P.S. “(as far as anyone could prove)”. Yeah.
