Another from the Six Sentences Archive to finish off National Novel Writing Month. This was originally shared January of 2009.
When your crouched in an aisle in the back of the poorly lit corner of the university library, surrounded by 2 years worth of the Journal of Pop Music, you’ll know. You’ll know because you will look up and see a woman in a simple paisley peasant skirt and a mom-knit sweater, her frizzy red hair corralled by a sky blue hair band. She’ll hike up her skirt, sit in the middle of the aisle three feet away, and pull her own year’s worth of journals off the shelf. She’ll tell you she’s researching the influence of Latvian bugle calls on house music, and asks what your searching for. You tell her Indonesian punk rock, circa 1992 and she raises an eyebrow. Then she smiles, pushing her constellation of freckles into new patterns. Pulling her backpack to her side, she removes a tupperware container of home made cookies, pops the lid and offers you one.
Cute
I remember well the days when we all tried to impress each other with other people’s music !
love it. always loved hanging in the stacks, now i remember why!
Very sweet story. Loved ‘ pushing her constellation of freckles’. Peace, Linda
A library, beautiful woman, and cookies! What a yummy little story.
There’s no substitute for a college library. Or cookies, for that matter.
Ah yes — the days when music defined the person. *sigh* Great image!
Cute little story. Nothing wrong with a hot college girl offering you cookies!
Hooray for cookies! Cute tale, but… some long sentences. Stretching those 6
Uh huh, I remember this one. To be perfectly honest, this is one of my favorite sixes not just from you, but like ever. This will sound terrible, but I hadn’t realized you were the one who wrote this. I remembered the 6s, just not the author.
Too cool it’s you. Rock on, Clever Trevor.

Constellation of freckles – love that. A great six from you, Trevor.
Mmmm, cookies.
Reminds me of …ah, it doesn’t matter anymore. I like slices of life. This one works. And now I want cookies.
I love that … ‘You’ll know’ oh yes you’ll know when there is tupperware involved.
