      It was a pack of gum for me. It made it into the dryer. After much effort, the residue remained, fortunately made less sticky by being saturated with lint. Thank goodness it was a lease. It dried clothes fine afterward, and didn’t affect the clothes. Still, I knew it was there, and what’s worse, it knew I knew, it was there. It would stare back at me, as if looking into my soul, mocking the solemnity of my laundry rituals.
