E/O Challenge: Shoe
When he was three, he lost his shoe at the zoo.
At seven, lost one on a school field trip.
At thirteen, bully stole his shoes from his gym locker.
Seventeen, lost one on a particularly nasty hunt.
Don't know if he ever lost a shoe at college. Wasn't there.
Tonight, storm drain. Damn rabbit's foot.
The look on his face was same as always.
Sad.
A little pathetic.
And freakin adorable.
No matter how old we get, he'll always be that little boy with a habit for losing shoes.
And I'll always get him new ones. Big brother's job.
