“And? Afraid of a little fresh air? Or do you think living here means you don’t have to earn your keep?” Emilia stood slowly, swallowing her frustration. “No, ma’am.” “That’s what I thought.” She turned and walked off, the matter settled. Emilia sighed and went to the hallway, grabbing the overstuffed laundry basket. It was already overflowing, the weight awkward and painful to carry. She shifted it against her hip and opened the front door, the cold air smacking her in the face like reality reminding her who she was. The laundromat buzzed with the hum of dryers and the low murmur of voices. Fluorescent lights flickered overhead, and the air smelled like detergent and tiredness. Emilia shove

She tied back her strawberry blonde tresses, and went to work. The hours slipped by, and it was quite late by the time she was down to the final task. The new washing machine wouldn’t arrive until Monday, and virtually everything in the house was dirty. Jeanie was down to a top that was too tight, and a skirt that was too short for her tastes — especially for going out into public. As late as it would be when she arrived, she wasn’t all that concerned with running into too many people, though. The newer laundromat on the other side of town drew most of the business.

Most students were either sleeping in, enjoying the relative quiet of a Saturday morning, or had already left for the weekend, seeking respite from the confines of campus life. When she finally reached the laundry room, she nudged the door open with her hip, the weight of the hamper making it difficult to use her hands. She stepped inside, the air thick with the combined scents of detergent, fabric softener, and warm, damp fabric. Rows of washing machines and dryers lined the walls, their metal exteriors gleaming under the fluorescent lights. A long folding table stood in the center of the room, its surface covered with neatly folded piles of clothes. A single student sat near the back, hunc

Doris stopped at a laundromat. “Do not say anything” she mumbled to Ruby. Ruby was too tired to reply. Her feet hurt badly, wearing sandals had been a bad choice for when she was going to walk a long distance in the heat. Also, she felt sweat trickle down her back through the scarf. Doris pushed the bell and let herself in. The laundromat seemed very busy, a couple of people were using the washing machine. “Can I help you with anything?” A young lady walked up to them with a friendly smile

Nabi continued to tour Callie, listing rules she should follow to get along with the other girls. “The new and clean clothes go here,” Nabi pointed to a pile of clothes in the hamper, then to a metal-looking box beside it. “And this ancient mechanism is our laundry chute. It’s huge and can fit a week’s worth of dirty laundry in one go. So, just toss them in there. The dirty clothes will be collected by a truck and sent to a Laundromat nearby.” “There’s no in-house laundry?” Callie asked, trying her hardest to hide her surprise.

He finished his sandwich and coffee before standing up. "Where are you going? Do you want me to have the driver take you back to Azura?" he asked the man when he stood up. "I'll just get the laundry from our room," Kenneth said. "It's number one on the woman's list, doing laundry every morning, and we can't use the washing machine because she said it easily damages the clothes. Only bed sheets and towels can be washed in the washing machine. His child was still asleep when he entered the room. He was careful not to make any noise to avoid waking the sleeping child and quickly took the basket filled with laundry.

"But it's a big enough area for me to stretch on the way to me run and a place to take off me sweaty clothes on the way back before hittin' the shower." Denise turns the heat up on the rice and opens the fridge, talking loudly over her shoulder as she digs around on the shelves. "They have a place just like that in the brownstone. I'm sure you've heard of it. It's called a laundry room," she emphasizes, turning back with a carton of eggs in her hands. "And the best part is you can throw those sweaty clothes right in the washer instead of on the grass." He harrumphs. "In the condo, I don't have to maintain a yard."

It consumes you slowly shaking you. The laundromat is a dingy little hole in the wall type place. There's no sign indicating that you are here. The open sign hangs lopsided by one lonely little chain that you can hardly see through the ice frosted window. The window that looks inside shows ugly green, brown and blue walls with beat up ugly grey washers sitting side by side by side. Fake plants line the tops of them and I am completely dreading going inside. I sigh while glancing over at my uncle. He chuckles full heartedly while scratching his long lumberjack beard. “Sorry kid, this is what we got.” He hands me thirty dollars, “Just give me a call when your dryer has 15 minutes left.” I take

m. No checkout. No lights left on. Just two shadows slipping down the exterior stairs. Rain had started again fine, cold, steady. It soaked into my hood almost instantly. The parking lot gleamed under streetlamps, reflections shivering with each drop. We didn’t speak for three blocks. A twenty-four-hour laundromat glowed at the corner—too bright, too fluorescent. People moved in and out with baskets and trash bags. No one paid attention to us. Inside, dryers thumped rhythmically. The air smelled like detergent and overheated metal.
