Written for Esther’s “Can You Tell A Story In…..?
#300” – exactly 46 words using the five required
words: ‘dumbfounded’, ‘vitamins’, ’waterfall’, ‘thumb’,
and ‘garlic’. Here’s where the prompts took me.
Clyde was out of his favorite vitamins. He decided to thumb a ride to Waterfall Township to buy some. When a car stopped to give him a ride, he was dumbfounded to see Dracula was the driver! Good thing Clyde always carried garlic in his pocket.

I think he would have been better off ordering his vitamins from Amazon. On the other hand, maybe this is exactly what a guy who always carries garlic in his pocket would do!

Hitch a ride with ‘anybody’ to get your favourite Vitamins … the Bobby and Laurie song, ‘Hitchhiker’ was one of my fav’ songs back in 1966 when I was a 15-year-old hitching a ride down to the surf beach
