A tumultuous bundle of washing mixed with the suds and she couldn’t stop watching them. They wrapped around each other in an effort to stay quiet. Now on spin, she dared not look away. At first she was going to throw the clothes out, but money was tight, and she couldn’t afford to throw themContinue reading “https://fivedotoh.com/2021/11/06/fowc-with-fandango-tumultuous/”
