A drabble, "Laundry"

Look! I wrote fic! Well, 100 words. It's for the Multi Improv Challenge, 100 words for "pure".

Laundry


Anya enjoys doing laundry in this modern world where machines do all the work. She just separates the clothes by types and sets the washer. What she hates are detergents that smell like “mountain rain” or “sunshine fresh”, they reek of the past, when washing clothes was hard work. She asked Xander about the outdoor scents, he said people were nostalgic. She said they were insane. She’d rather have scents like tangerines, Chanel, or new car; she seems to be the only one. Instead she buys Ivory—advertised itself as 99.44% pure!---which leaves her clothes smelling clean, like soap

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] theodosia for her help in the final polish.

Glad you like it! I've let myself get stalled with my writing so I'm hoping these improv and drabble challenges will knock things loose.
