Your Lost Sock (Drabble)

100 Word Short Stories

It happened so fast, what more can I say? Sometimes you have to get a little lost.

See, my twin made it through just fine. He passed the hamper, swirled about in the washer, danced joyously in the dryer, and then landed softly in the clean clothes basket.

Wait and see however, I may reemerge.

Sincerely,

Your Lost Sock

I can do this.
