Scientific Method

Seeking scientific proof, I ready the instruments. Then, I gently close the door. At ignition, the dryer whirs to life. Heat, moisture and rotation create the perfect storm. When the tone sounds, I open the door. My socks ARE missing!  Successful Wormhole!!!

    As usual, the narrator's voice is spot on for capturing the sentiment you're conveying. Well done.

      Well when you KNOW you put two of the same type of sock in there, but only one comes out...what other answer is there?

      Wouldn't it though? It's got to be rather small though, as only single socks seem to make it through!

    Great build-up and sense of discovery! You've made the life of a dryer seem somehow grand. :)

      That should say "look forward to YOU writing again!" Sometimes the brain outpaces the fingers...

    I always wonder why this doesn't happen at my house but always did in my parent's house growing up. Now I know why!
