1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to The Wash House on Lewis with a heavy box under his arm. As he unlocked the door, an old man in a tattered apron appeared from behind a pile of towels and whispered something strange into his ear. Curious, the delivery driver glanced around but saw no one else. He shrugged it off and went inside. Later that week, while hanging out clothes on the line, a neighbor called over, ‘Did you hear about the new guy who works here? They say he talks to ghosts.’ The driver laughed it off until he found himself humming along to old tunes coming from the back room.

It’s supposed to be here!’ A voice from inside replied, ‘It sure is here—just waiting for your shirt to finish drying.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and looked around. ‘Wait, what shirt?’ he asked. Then, a familiar voice chimed in from behind him: ‘Yours, of course! I thought you’d want it dry before delivering that important package.’ Turning, he saw an old neighbour smiling warmly. ‘Oh, thanks, Mr. MacLean,’ he laughed, realizing his own mistake. ‘Next time, maybe I’ll check the address twice… or three times.’

Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to The Wash House on Lewis. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, ‘this place never closes.’ But as he opened the door, he found an old man folding clothes in silence. As they worked side by side, the delivery driver noticed that every shirt had a small folded note inside. Curious, he picked one up and read: 'Please iron with love.' Turning around, he asked the old man, who simply smiled and said, “It’s our little secret.”

Suddenly, an old lady poked her head out from behind a pile of sheets and yelled, ‘Hey! What are you doing here so late?’ Turns out she was just drying her pet rabbit’s fur next door. A relieved delivery driver walked away, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll check the hours before making a delivery.’
