hanger, except for socks without a match. Wrappers and empty bags scattered across the remaining part of the empty floor. Something gooey dripping from a shelf and something crunchy beneath my feet. The light fixture flickers as I make my way into the landfill that is my closet and I get started. I fill up one basket with my laundry, barely making a dent, and stuff it into the washing machine. Next, I clean up the goop, after a closer look, it was possibly honey or my third-grade science…
