In a dawn daze, I slide open my sock drawer. Empty. Well then, I think; There’s gotta be more in the laundry. I run downstairs, bare feet smack, smack, smacking against the cedar. The drier’s colder than the chilly air outside...If these sandals fall off while I’m driving...my panic-stricken mind wonders...
