6 word story

Here's my 6 word story ;

Cleaner Wanted ; Quiet, discreet, not squeamish.

Now get out of that one !!

NOW GET OUT OF THAT ONE

John and Philomena looked up from their fried eggs and stared through the window of the greasy spoon Café, waiting for their moment.

Lancelot came back from the toilet and sat down. As he sat, he knocked John’s knife, catapulting John’s egg into Philomena’s face.

Philomena screamed and jumped up in shock, she stumbled back without realising there was a baby in a high chair behind her. John’s quick reactions, inherent from being a professional table tennis player, kicked into play and he grabbed Philomena’s arm with all his strength to stop her from knocking into the baby.

John knew that this was his moment that he was waiting for. So he decided he wanted to became a profesinal table tennis player and learn with the Japanese champions!!

John had a real problem with this decision, the fact that he was in a greasy spoon café and not in Japan where he wanted to work with the best Japanese tennis players. Luckily a Japanese man sitting on the next table said that he was going to Tokyo and his son was a Japanese tennis champion he had a spare ticket to go to Tokyo that day.

“Only £5000” to you sir, said the Japanese man.

John pondered on the offer, then remembered he had a Wii, complete with Wii Sports. He stands up proud and walks out, unfortunately dragging the Japanese man with him as the long white beard got caught in John’s belt.

It just goes to show that you don’t have to travel the world to find yourself. John also realised that Japan is famous for Sushi not eggs. He loved Eggs.

He turned on his heels and headed for home, whistling happily and pondering the endless choices of poached, fried, boiled, scrambled…

This was a weird exercise - I thought I'd set up a scenario of two people waiting in a Cafe for something to happen - they were waiting for something outside, but the story evolved inside the Cafe and became surreal. I wanted to shout "hey can't you all read my mind???!!!" but of course none of the others could.
