What happens to the socks that get lost in your washing machine?
I’ve seen many strange things in my life. But nothing is anywhere close to what happened last summer. I refuse to believe in paranormal activities, but I guess now I have no choice, but to believe in a parallel world… inside my washing machine.
The books based on my own true stories that I should write one day
