Becca lets out a long, shattered breath as she edges Richard’s Infiniti back into its designated space, what has surely got to be the most inconvenient space in the whole garage, but — she did it! Today Wine World, tomorrow (or next week) a furniture store.
She’s brought up short, hands on her hips, as she confronts the problem of transporting 36 bottles of cabernet sauvignon up 22 stories without breaking them, or needing help so everyone and the concierge knows, or making less than six trips. This is ridiculous.
It’s not like she should have to hide it anyway. It’s just to help her sleep.
This is a vignette from The Life and Times of Jane Doe for this week’s Six Sentence Stories blog hop. The cue was “fix.”

Wow…thats a pretty significant fix! And a case of denial as well!

Becca is in a fix. Needs her fix, something to fix her problem, for sure. Maybe she should consider boxed wine next time.

That would make things easier, but Becca is a bit of a snob. 😉

Oh dear, that’s some heavy duty sleep she’s requiring! I can’t help but smile at the problem she’s presented for herself, too much to carry up without being noticed. Perhaps she could leave them stashed in the car and just bring up a few in a subtle bag each day, but I suspect she needs the “comfort” of knowing an ample supply is close at hand. Great storytelling!

but do not deny her the small pleasure of her accomplishment! all implications of the object of her efforts aside, all need to believe that they have what it takes to achieve what needs to be achieved.

Nice catch! Yes, taking the car out was a big deal for her. It’s all in the motivation.

If she is climbing up stairs with those bottles, she is going to more physically fit, but maybe not so much is she consumes the contents quickly.

I hadn’t thought of that. Hmmm…is Becca lazy, or not? 🙂

Sadly the effort she needs to get them up to her apartment undetected will make her so tired that by the time they are all up there she’ll fall asleep without tasting one!

I want to see how she solves this one undetected. Great character development, I want to know more about what else Jane is “hiding”.
