<div class="floatleft">(http://i393.photobucket.com/albums/pp12/aysande/si/605.jpg)</div>Where: In the hall, right by her apartment door<br/>When: Friday, around 3PM<br/>Tag: Open<br/><hr/>Outside, negotiating the traffic with that thickening layer of snow had  been somewhat hellish, for the taxi driver anyway. She usually walked from the grocery store to the apartment building, but today walking wasn’t exactly the most inviting of activities. There was a thick layer of snow, coving slippery ice patches, and that’s without talking of negotiating street corners where cars had polished the snow to a treacherously smooth surface. No, if Jade wanted to get home with her eggs intact, walking wasn’t the thing to do. The taxi ride did cost her a few dollars but she could deal with that loss.<br/><br/>Jade entered the hall of her apartment building, holding a grocery bag under each arm. Negotiating the stairs up to her apartment wasn't much of a hassle. It was entering the apartment itself without dropping anything that would be. Wearing her winter coat but no hat, she sported a thin, melting, layer of snow over her hair and shoulders. Skinny jeans and warm winter boots completed the outfit.  She had Fridays free of class, and she was glad that it was the case today. Being able to grocery shop during the office hours was sweet, no traffic and no long lines to the cashier.<br/><br/>Jade juggled with her paper bags – she had forgotten the reusable bags just on the other side of that door – as she tried to fish the keys out of her coat’s pocket. What had to happen, happened. Some of the paper, made wet by the snow, gave in under the weight of a pair of large red onions. “Shit.” She grumbled softly as she heard the soft “thump” and rolling sound of the onions. She had no choice but to do what she should have done from the beginning, which was to put the bags on the floor while she got her keys and unlocked the door.  She bent to place the first bag on the floor, the broken bag, and it just split further down, spilling it’s content on the floor. “Damnit” she grumbled under her breath.<br/>
