The 5 sentence story - Prompt #3

10:15am:  It's day three of my 5 sentence story week!  Want to participate?  I've put the prompt below and I'll come back and add my story later this afternoon.  If you write one too, leave me a comment to link to your blog post...I'd love to read it!

Task--
    Write a 5 sentence story with the following:
  • Place:  a hockey game
  • Character:  a baker
  • Object: a yellow raincoat
  • Time: autumn
Good luck!
 
4:30 update - I got to admit...this one was tough! And I admit I had to take some liberty (and creativeness) to remain at only 5 sentences but here's what I ended up with...

A glimpse of bright yellow darting through the cloudy autumn mist – that’s all she was. She could have been anyone leaving the Anaheim Ducks game; luckily it rained just before the faceoff otherwise Daniel may have never seen her.  His friend, Chip, won’t stop yammering about the last minutes of Ducks’ miraculous win over the Sharks, and frankly he’d agree it was amazing, but Chip’s words are nothing compared to the eyes that belong to the girl in the yellow jacket. 

“I’ll be right back,” Daniel says, cutting Chip off mid-sentence before pushing through the throng of fans. Weaving in and out, almost stepping on the foot of a little old lady, he finally reaches her, can see alarm set in her brow as she searches through the window of a local bakery, until the moment she sees him – not Daniel, but the brawny man with the flour-covered apron – and her smile powers through the mist and crushes Daniel’s heart.

Geno the towns local baker was not happy with the early morning call on a saturday!

He put on his bright yellow rain coat left the house to get to his car which was covered in soggy autum leaves.

Today was not a good day he was already running late to get his delivery to its destination on time.

The delivery was a huge cake for the local hockey team who would playing for the county championship today.

They better win he thought misrably while sitting in traffic on main street thinking of the warm comfy bed he just left.
