Buster Baxter Does The Laundry by Anonymous Kyles

Buster Baxter finished eating his infamous Pineapple Pizza Root Beer Milkshake. He walked to the basement and opened the door with sticky hands then skipped down the basement stairs with semi dried chocolate syrup sticking to the right corner of his mouth.

Once down the stairs, Buster went straight to the washing machine to move wet clothes into the drier. He reached inside the washer grabbing at whatever he could feel first with his splotched palms and syrup stained fingers like the claw inside of a stuffed-animal filled arcade game. Everything he put into the drier was stained and still dirty. The white shirt he needed for a band recital had faint colored sprinkle prints on the collar. His favorite shirt had patches of chocolate on them the same size of his left hand, but he didn’t even notice. It was his favorite shirt because of the multiple stains it already had on it. He noticed a pale yellow stain and thought mmmm, that was the time I won the cities lemon meringue pie eating contest.

Buster closed the drier with clean silky hands and started the machine. He lifted himself on the top of the drier and felt a scratch on his leg from the inside of his pocket. Startled, Buster looked at his pocket with eyes as big as his appetite. He reached his hand in his pocket passing the crumbs of other forgotten snacks and pulled out a pack of Space Rockin’ Poppin’ Candy Asteroids. He opened the bag and stuffed his face. His mouth felt like a sweet Fourth of July as the drier rumbled and warmed him to a snoring and sugar drooling nap.

Do you get a real feel of who Buster is? Is the imagery strong enough? Can you see Buster doing the laundry? What do you think?
