What a story, Scott! Now, anyone reading this would be inspired to write up some nonsensical episode in their life to give everyone a laugh. Laughter is SO GOOD for us. Nicely written, kept my interest. Thanks for this site, it will keep writers writing, and inspire others to write who didn't know they were writers.

Cute, cute, cute story! Ugly is ok - just be glad they didn't make it into the "worst smelling" shoe contest.

I missed this one the first time around and thanks Carol for bringing it to my attention. Well done! You held our interest clear to the end.

I was cheering for you to win first place in that shoe contest so I could then say "I've heard of him online! He's an editor and all that!"

Glad you got your money's worth and more from that purchase!

I really liked this story. Original, and well delivered. Not that it is a programmed statement but a testimony to the reality of life, something unique to share. Thanks from, Richard L. Provencher.

I do wish that contest was still going on, I just disposed of a pair of those sneakers that might have won grand prize. "LOL" They were keepers, but had to go. You smelled them before you saw them.

Great Scott! that five hundred dollar prize made you a shoe-in running for that five grand, but your brief odor of success gave way to a strong scents of de-feet.
Sorry,I couldn't resist. Tom
