Socks
By Grant Baciocco

“I have no choice, I’m going to have to ditch these socks.” James said to himself as he pedaled down the street.  “Why didn’t I do laundry last night?”

He thought about the late night he’d spent playing video games rather than doing his laundry.  Now he was biking to work and was gagging because his socks smelled so bad.  Two weeks ago, he’d decided to throw out all the socks with holes in them.  He now had one pair left and had worn them for two weeks straight.

He pulled over near a car and began removing his shoes.
