Inside the Limo

Posted by admin On August - 24 - 2011

If you’re not accustomed to seeing limos, it’s only natural to wonder who – or what – lies within those tinted windows.  One day, though, a limo pulls up alongside you and the window is rolled down.  The passenger gestures to you and invites you in.  Do you enter?  What happens next?  Who is in the limo?  What made you want to get in?  How does your life (or even just your day) change?

Give us 100 words (or more, your choice) in the comments – or blog it and let us know where we can find your passage.

Imagine a gypsy.  He’s wild and boisterous, happy with his unconventional lifestyle and wild ways.  Imagine his typical day…what is it like?

Now, due to a glitch in the fabric of time and circumstance, imagine that this man wakes up to find himself in someone else’s life.  Instead of roaming as he pleases, he’s suddenly trapped in the body and lifestyle of a suburban Sport Clips Franchise owner.   How does he react?  How does the suburban man’s family react to the sudden changes in their husband/father?  What happens when the gypsy turned franchisee walks into his Sport Clips franchise?
