The Man in the White Van - Flash Fiction Challenge

WRITING CHALLENGE Coming Up!

Patti Abbott, our resident writing challenge inspiration has come up with another intriguing idea for a Flash Fiction Challenge and all are welcome to join in. Please read the rules in Patti's post which I've reproduced below.

Of course I'll be writing something and posting it here. Why? Oh, because it's fun and flexes the brain a little bit.

Patti's Post:

I sit at a window every day here in La Jolla where I look out on the ocean. But I also see a street.  On many of the days I have been here, a white van pulls up early in the morning to grab one of the few empty spots. The van contains an expensive bike, a motorbike, a surfboard, multiple coolers, and changes of clothes, a beach chair. And, of course, a man. A man who seems to nearly live in this van because he eats lunch in there, changes his clothes in there and so on. He seems to have too many expensive things to be homeless, but he is sinister. I watch him enter and exit his van.  Does he watch me at the window?

Don't regard any of these details relevant to your story necessarily. 

CHALLENGE: Write a story about a man in a white van. What is his story? 1,000 words and a finish date of March 13th. Let me know if you're in.
