Monday mornings were the worst. Most days, his shoes would house the occasional bell trapped in a plastic ball or maybe a spider family living inside the toe. Other days, it would open up portals into physics-defying worlds. He was getting used to the fact that his shoes weren’t normal or even plain.
On this morning, this Monday of Mondays, he watched as the tentacles squirmed and danced as if he were playing a small flute. The cat watched too, but he had other things on his mind. Like a nap.
He was always thinking of naps.(It’s mOtke monday. Check your shoes.)
