On Episode #5 of a great season of Project Runway, one of the contestants (Casanova) said that, with this challenge, he felt "like a fish in water." And of course I thought: that's a great title. The rest of the prompt for a 500-word flash fiction piece demands come from that same great episode.
Your title must be "Like a Fish in Water."
It should begin with some kind of competition.
It should have either one or both of these lines of dialogue: (1) "You guys, I'm so proud of us. We're working so well together. It's blowing my mind" or (2) "I don't know why you allow [Name] to manipulate, control, and bully you."
It should include these words: military, camel, Grandpa Sweater, A-ha, whip.
It should end with someone in tears.
