THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOES

I was getting ready for my prom. I was running late, and my hair was a mess. Split in the middle and so flat, that my ears were sticking out. With big curls on ends. I got to the venue. I looked down and I was wearing two different shoes. I was at work. About to leave. It was raining outside. I had wellies on. They disappeared. I found myself standing by the front door in my socks. They were soaking wet. I remembered I had another pair of shoes in my bag. They were my summery raffia sneakers. I took my wet socks off and put the shoes on.

I went home.
