Friday's Fifteen Minute Tale - the setup!

[martinlivings]

Okay, so Tuesday's Ten Minute Tale is a few days late; I've been at training for the past three days, and so haven't had internet access or the time to do this. But never let it be said that I shirk my duties entirely. So, with a modicum of careful renaming for the sake of alliteration... the first three people to post with a word, phrase, topic, theme, name, or whatever, dictate the direction of the story. I'll endeavour to incorporate all three suggestions, and write it within fifteen minutes of receiving the third post, work allowing. Then I'll post the result.
