In prep for doing next week’s introduction to storytelling for my ds106 class, yesterday’s sequence of events compelled me to try the Tell a Story in Five Frames flickr group, making a story titled “Freed”
This are an interesting challenge, it is easy perhaps to illustrate a series of events. The trick to level up is to make the story less literal (which I cannot say I have done here). Like the six word story, this is a great exercise in telling a story within contraints.
The story as tweeted (with iPhone autocorrect typos at no charge)

@doodle_muse will do, up the road out of this grubby town I will look for place to let her go. I'm diabetic so no sugar on me

No problem at all; the 5 photo story has been a favorite activity for some time. I’m curious to see what the response is
