Episode 6: Watch Your Step

Because it might just happen as you're walking along the cobbled roads and sideways, admiring how such a minute detail such as the texture cobbling affects the aura of the scenic city streets, and not really paying attention to wear you are stepping.  For in this revelry the elaborate jigsaw cobbling pattern may drastically change in some manner, such as miniature grand canyon or like a puzzle piece that has been chewed on by a three year old and now doesn't fit perfectly.  This change then comes in contact to your unassuming foot, and you proceed to stumble or try to walk on the sidewalk with your face.

Or, after this obstacle whether or not you've fallen prey to it, your ignorant and, again, unassuming foot could find something softer.  And warmer.  Your foot (or feet) will discover Christmas came early this year and a canine (or pigeon) friend has left a gift.  You will then proceed to scrub and scrub and scrub, and then throw your shoes away, thankful they were only five bucks at Walmart.  However from then you will eye furry beast being walked suspiciously.  Or flinch when a pigeon flies your direction, not because you've recently watched Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds or read the short story, but because you know what their digestive systems are capable of.

Or, whether you've chosen doors one and two or avoided both completely, you may in the continuation of your walk and general admiration of Firenze not realize your pants are longer than your legs (because your feet obviously don't know anything).  This then causes trendy wearing and tearing turning your threads into threads.  Your now holey hemline is hanging on by a thread.  However it, very unlike your feet, does know what is going on and manages to find the only bolt in the entire sidewalk.  It catches it and holds on, though your inertia is pushing your forward, sounding out a loud rrrrrip noise.

:D
Until next time!
Ciao!
