a 100-word story

Totally Happened

I asked my partner to pick up some laundry detergent, and he returned with something called MEGA-ULTRA FOAMING-SMELL POWER. I questioned his selection, but he assured me it was the best stuff around.

So I said fine, put a capful into the washer with the towels, and moved on.

Ten minutes later, the living room smelled like someone had stuffed 1,200 dryer sheets in the AC vents. A tiny bubble floated by, then another, until the whole house filled with foam. We lost everything—except the towels—and I’ll never get the scent out of my hair.
