An improvised drying rack, made from the leftover wood during the process of building a temporary shelter.

It was a simple drying rack, hastily assembled by tying five wooden sticks together with plant vines. But it was good enough to hang my soaking wet clothes to dry.

“Are you really going to undress...?”

“Would you rather I stay in wet clothes and catch a cold?”

“No, I didn’t mean that, but…”

I took off my academy uniform jacket, drenched by the river, and hung it up. I also placed my water-soaked shirt and skirt on the rack, one by one.
