Some of you seem to be stuck, and I am sure it is not for lack of ideas. However, when we are thinking of a "story" it is easy to get trapped into the notion of wanting to control the meaning/narrative. This is something that may be possible in written texts, but even then,  language can have many interpretations and the reader brings along a whole lot of baggage to how they understand or feel the story. With photography, as you all know, the meaning is far more slippery. As you put one image next to another their meanings change by association. Then, if you add a word or a caption you can further direct the idea or intention. But, I suggest that if you are feeling stuck, forget for a while about the literal story and start shooting - just like a daily exercise, and then see what happens when you place images together. Here is an interesting photographer, Martin Brink, who does that. Look at his series "The Daily Round" and imagine the images as a book.
