Assignment 19. object description
Thursday, Oct. 22
Required: Object Description ▼

Describe, in detail, an object critical to your story. Add the object description to your definitions database (if applicable.)

Bonus: Research OR World Building ▼

Research: For reality-based fiction, research aspects of your novel that will lend credibility to your writing.
World Building: For fantasy, science fiction, or other speculative fiction, develop the history, geology, ecology, and/or maps for your world. Update your character, setting, and/or definitions databases with any new information (if applicable.)


Can a story turn on an object?
My story is replete with things that do not need definition. My story has lots of different locations and occupied buildings that I could use for description. But the story really does shift over a pickle jar that does not open.
We have all had the experience of not being able to open a jar, hand it off and that person can open it with ease. In my story it is a jar that is quite tight, but a worked-up woman can open it with ease.
I describe the different ways a jar can be opened, but do not work for this strapping young man. I do not want my protagonist to be embarrassed, but I do want him to be a little intrigued and turned on (if that’s still a relevant phrase) by a strong woman.
So what does a pickle jar look like? It is a glass mason jar that has been overpacked and sealed by a super torque ratchet machine to make sure it stays sealed. The lable is a generic brand of pickles with a pretty green and yellow label, with standard black “Tahoma” lettering. The first taste is always with the nose. The dill brine has a delicious aroma all its own that one would not expect from a generic product. The pickles, if you can get the jar open, are spicy dill with a decent tartness lingering on the tongue after a satisfying savoring of the crunch factor.
