Wine | A 100 Word Story

#141 Life UnCorked

“I found this old bottle of wine when I moved in. Says it was bottled in 1480,” I said, handing over the dust covered bottle.

“1480? That’s impossible,” Kerri, my best friend, said, and grabbed it from me. She held it up to the light to see if there was anything inside. Once confirmed she handed it back and I proceeded to wriggle the cork till it came free with the familiar POP.

I would describe the smell it released as floral. But seeing as now we’re both six feet under, that’s all I feel like sharing at this time. 

In keeping with the theme for the rest of September, check out the publication whose name I used for the story you just read. And if you like their writing, give them a Subscribe to let them know!
