Eva’s Byte #373 – Clothes-ure
The Empress’s No Clothes
Knowing full well what I’m about to dis-clothes is but a drop in the bucket compared to others’ throes and our world’s woes, my story unfolds.
Indulging in a pick-up and delivery laundry service has proved to be a godsend. So to speak, I’ve changed horses midstream and have retained the current franchise for three years. I’ve been very pleased with their quality care and courtesy. Occasionally, the expected minor bugs have occurred:
Missing sock
Bonus items which I place in a sealed bag for the driver to retrieve when he picks up my laundry
Missing pillowcases for which the proprietor did a week’s laundry at no charge
On Friday of the previous week, a bundle of clean laundry never appeared on my threshold. When I placed a call to the proprietor, he got to the bottom of it, informing me that a new driver delivered elsewhere.
Now, that’s a horse of a different color!
He assured me I’d see my laundry the following day. Nevertheless, I morphed into a Debbie Downer, doubting his promise to deliver. I speculated the dingy prospects of replacing a week’s worth of athletic wear, sleepwear, street clothes, and the beat goes on. For sure, I’d sever ties with the service and become self-reliant by dropping off my laundry at a laundromat.
Sure enough, having gone the distance, my bundle of joy arrived intact. Clothes-ure.
With regard to my capacity of a writer, I’m closing in on chapter 14 (1178 words thus far) of my Contemporary work in progress. Two of my characters are literally coming clean to each other about past events.
*May each of us find closure after a troublesome occurrence, and at the finish line of our artistic endeavors.
My sincere appreciation if you’ve read this far.
