Martian Laundry Gone Wrong A window into the Martian Laundry Experience:
1. Put clothes in washer
2. Put Soap in Soap Slot & Quarters in Quarter Slot
3. Come back to mysterious puddle and open soap slot
4. Put soggy clothes in dryer and more quarters
5. Come back to soggy clothes that smell funny
6. Throw anything not absolutely vital to the week back in the laundry bag
7. Decide to hang pants
8. Discover you do not have a strong enough rope
9. Braid together several feet of plastic bag
10. Hang pants and spray with disinfectant
Alternative Method for same results:
1. Throw pants over chair, spray with disinfectant
2. Pour some water on your laundry bag
3. Throw some quarters out the window
This method is a more efficient means of achieving almost wearable pants, soggy funny smelling shirts, and losing quarters.
The puddle
A short horror story I just finished writing:)
Word count: 469
While waiting outside, I spot something strange.
A puddle lighted by a street lantern moving in a rather strange manner.
It doesn’t take long for me to notice that it’s probably just the wind playing with it, just as the wind is playing with my hair.
Blowing it in and out of my face continuously, almost like a small child that just got its hands on a new toy. Tirelessly as if to signal that it will never bore.
Again my gaze wanders back to the puddle.
It ripples in a strange manner, almost as if something alive is in it.
But I know for certain that it can’t be anything, since it should be as shallow as any other small puddle on the neatly tiled streets.
Perhaps an inch deep at most, but most likely even more shallow.
The water starts to move around quicker and more wild, making me almost believe there to be a fish flopping about.
Perhaps it is a bird, who knows.
As I start to feel the slightest bit of guilt, of possibly letting some small animal die, I get up.
I slowly stand up from the cold bench and walk over to it… slowly… very slow.
Now the water seems to almost be dancing, dancing inside the small puddle.
Up and down it goes, now I’m sure the wind doesn’t have the power to do something like that.
As I gaze into the dark puddle, I can’t seem to find the bottom of it.
Is it just too dark outside already for me to spot this?
No, I can see inside the other puddles perfectly fine, the many lines of them neatly in rows.
Before I know it the darkness inside it seems to grow, the puddle has gotten larger and larger..
It can’t be!
I try to take a step back, but it’s as if the puddle itself has taken me within its cold gaze, staring back into my very core.
Nothing I can do about it, I stare back, into the cold wetness of its never-ending insides.
Something deep and dark is within it.
Would I seem possessed to those around me?
Well, I’m sure I’m alone though. It’s too late for someone to see me, for someone to stop this staring contest.
The water has calmed down again, as if seeing me has made it sink deep into thought.
Calmly it ripples again at the rules of the wind.
Then rapidly something comes out of the puddle.
An arm.
A human arm.
Grasping in the air for some unknown reason.
Perhaps for help.
Without thought or perhaps still possessed by the water I take it, trying to take it out of there.
It’s coldness seeps deep into my body as it grabs my arm with full strength.
For a moment nothing else happens, just me staring at the body part clenching me.
With a quick yank it suddenly pulls me closer.
Closer and closer.
Until I too am taken into the darkness of the puddle
