Succinctly Yours - A Microfiction Meme #14

Grandma at Grandma's Goulash provides a picture and a word prompt for this Microfiction Meme and the rules are use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words.



Want more challenge? Use the word of the week in your story. This part is optional.


This week's word is TRIBUTE here's the picture and my offering using both the picture and the word in 140 characters, including spaces and punctuation.



Jack loved being in a tribute band, apart from travelling to gigs, in bad weather,

when he was just one more faceless person in another car.

    Hi! It's so great to be back! I missed reading your blog.

    Oh well, commute during a bad weather is a huge hassle for me.

    Wonderful post, as always. Will look forward for more 140's!:-)

    I'm a regular commuter as well and I can relate. Driving to and from work is pain.

    Great writing.

    It's called travelling incognito! Probably the best way in some situations....grins.

    If Jack's anything like the members of tribute bands I've known, he'll be in a beaten up old van that'll only just make it to the venue and back :)

    Great use of "tribute!" I guess tribute bands must pay their dues, so to speak.

    Love your use of the word "tribute" here, as a adjective rather than a noun. Nice!

    Good mf. I could really picture him in his car - so maybe he wasn't as anonymous as he thought!
