Mr V's prized collection of vinyl wasn't getting much use since he became bed bound. It had been boxed up, ready to be launched to the space high above. That was also known as Mr V's attic.
"What do you have in your vinyl collection?" - Sevan
"All sorts. A few classics. One or two good ones" - Mr V
Sevan was sure there were more than a couple of good ones. 8 boxes were ready to move to the loft and the contents must have been music that Mr V cared about to hold onto them.
No one knew what was in the attic, so Kash climbed up the not-quite-long-enough and slightly wobbly step ladder, then used her arm strength to launch herself into the void above. After turning on the cool white light of her phone, the joists and insulation could be seen. There was no flooring, which Mr V had prepared for by saving some sheets of plywood. These were the first and easiest things that Sevan on the ground passed to Kash in the sky.
The 8 boxes came next. Some were light and some were heavy. One had contents that moved around and whacked Sevan in the face when he was on the stepladder. After the first couple, Mr V's carer stepped in to help too, passing boxes to Sevan who stood on the 3rd rung and pushed them through the loft hatch. Kash did a great job of sucking the boxes into her orbit and organising them in the roof space.
With the help of Mr V's carer, the task was completed quickly. All that was left to do was to get Kash safely back down on the ground and show Mr V a picture of what they'd discovered in upper space.
