The Friday Fictioneer Challenge: Write a 100-word story based on the photo. This week, our host inadvertently posted a photo already used. We have the choice to post our original story or write a new one. I re-read my story from February 2016. I liked it; I’m using it.

A Journey
You either knew or you didn’t, Jordan thought. Anyone asking him a question starting with “Why do you?” usually didn’t understand his answer. How do you explain passion to someone who lacks it? It is invisible to them, even when right in front of their eyes.
He earned his living as a mechanic, classic cars his specialty. He loved the freedom to follow the road, to go when and where he wanted. His prized possessions in tow, Jordan merged onto the highway. Something just over the next hill was always beckoning. He enjoyed life as a journey, not a destination.

I loved “Anyone asking him a question starting with “Why do you?” usually didn’t understand his answer.”
Sometimes you just know right away how a conversation will go.
Yep… worth a second read..
Love his philosophy. A good job of relating this character’s personality.
Such a good question – how do you explain passion. Great story.
Thats how I see it, great writing
Great philosophy and it’s right, their’s no point trying to explain passion to those without it. Those who know need no explanation, those that don’t, don’t matter
