This little story grew out of a Twitter conversation with Roger__Jackson ( @jabe842 ) and Dee Lancaster ( @dee_lancaster ). Both folks are, by the way, brilliant contributors to my very favouritest micro-fiction word prompt game, Friday Phrases , now being run by the fabulous Lara Meone Savine @larameone . The Twitter convo, initially about commutes and commuting, veered (not very surprisingly) into a story prompt idea in the spirit of those offered by the excellent @storybandit . Create a 99-word story using the following words: Cauliflower soup, golf, boot camp, the weather, reify.
