The Buzzer
by Jon Caswell
When the clothes dryer's buzzer went off, Jennifer jumped. She had dozed off at the kitchen table. "I hate that buzzer," she said aloud, even though she lived alone. It had been a long day, and her boss at work had been in a foul mood. She had been on her feet all day doing inventory in the storeroom, which didn't have air conditioning.
When the inventory count didn't match the number in the account book, her boss had snapped, "Can't you even count?" This had really hurt Jennifer's feelings.
The dryer buzzed again, jerking Jennifer out of the hurtful memory. She crossed the kitchen to the laundry room and opened the dryer door. She pulled out a blouse and pressed it to her face. How she loved the feel of things fresh out of the dryer! Jennifer put the laundry basket on the floor and loaded all the clothes into it. Then, she headed to her bedroom to fold the clean clothes and put them away.
