Are things capable of storing the memory of a person? What if the memory of loved ones is concentrated only in old objects stored in the attic, and, sooner or later, you are forced to part with them?.. This is nothing more than a metaphor. When you think about a washing machine. And as a child, I followed my mother with my tail, and we had a large copper washing machine; This miracle stood in my grandmother’s basement, and it was made of pure copper - such machines were not produced for a long, long time. But it was a wonderful color - copper. And I watched as my mother put the laundry through the drum two or three times and then hung it up. So this metaphor was always in front of my eyes, and when you think about washing clothes, you usually imagine how people wash their clothes, don’t you? Automatic washing. I have no doubt that this is exactly what happened. One day I remembered a washing machine and my mother hanging out laundry, and two hours later a story was born. [Mystery Stories] didn't need him, but they took him. They ended up taking the story with me and rejected The Return. Thank God.
