“FINALLY - A STORY WITH PRETTY SHORT PARAGRAPHS ” - Limited Attention Span Weekly
CAROL
Once upon a time there was a beautiful woman who lived in a beautiful single-family townhome. The most beautiful thing about her however, was her beautiful name: Carol.
Carol was a moderately active woman who stretched and did at-home pilates videos regularly. Something most people didn’t know about Carol was that she didn’t usually sweat because she kept her beautiful single-family townhome at a cool 65 degrees year round.
One particularly hot afternoon, Carol’s A/C unit broke down from overuse. Unfortunately, it was 97 degrees outside & Carol’s beautiful single-family townhome had many windows. Needless to say, it heated up fast.
A true pilates fan, Carol pushed through the heat and did her at-home pilates video anyway. When she was done, Carol was so sweaty she didn’t recognize herself in the mirror! She never sweat (as you may remember from earlier - I wrote about that in paragraph 2). Seeing herself this way made her sweat more, and let’s just say it was a sweaty afternoon.
Carol had a date planned for that evening & was nowhere near dry enough to try to meet a husband. She ran to her shower to rinse off but when she turned the handle, NOTHING came out. She ran to the sink and turned the handle - nothing! Almost in tears and preparing to cancel her date, Carol ran upstairs to the GUEST bathroom, tore open the shower curtain and twisted the handle.
After a .3 second delay, the most wonderful, clear, PURE h20 came rushing from the shower head. Turns out it was just the master bathroom that was having a water issue!
Carol showered in the guest bathroom, which she actually really enjoyed because of the skylight. Surprisingly, as she was getting ready she felt her A/C kick back into action. Carol got it together and had a really nice date.
A few days later, the plumber who was involved in the build of Carol’s beautiful single-family town home came over and fixed her water problem. Apparently it was his fault so he didn’t charge her.
Carol never experienced another A/C issue ever again and she had a nice life with her husband, Ron. Ron was not the man she went on a date with the night of the A/C incident, but rather a man she met at work a few months after the A/C incident.
