The Story:
Once upon a time there was a shoe called Righty. His best friend was Lefty and they went everywhere together. One evening, after dark, they went out to a place with sounds and bright lights and they danced and had a great time.
When they were tired from dancing, they went into a quiet room and had a rest under a table. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a magical door appeared next to Righty and a wizard popped his head through.
"Hallo Righty!" said the wizard. He had white hair and a long white beard, and he was wearing purple robes and a pointy hat, and they were covered in lots of twinkly stars.
"How did you know my name?" said Righty, who was very surprised to see him.
"It's Magic!" replied the wizard, with a grin. "Would you like to come on an adventure with me?"
"Wow!" said Righty. He had always wanted to go on an adventure! Usually he and Lefty went round & round the same places every day until they back home to sleep.
"Can Lefty come with me?" he asked. Lefty was having a little snooze and didn't know the wizard was there.
"No" said the wizard "Only one of you can come with me on this adventure, otherwise it's too dangerous."
"Why?" asked Righty. "Where will we go?"
"We are going to see dragons and mountains and magical rivers and faraway places and lots of amazing things"" Righty was very excited. But he didn't want to leave Lefty. He always felt safe when they were together. He had never been anywhere on his own.
"I am a wizard". Said the wizard. "You can trust me. Look!" And he opened the door. Behind the wizard, Righty could see a magical land with mountains and streams, and orange and purple skies and fluffy pink clouds.
The wizard waved his magic wand and a flying carpet appeared out of thin air!
"We don't even have to walk" said the wizard, "we can fly everywhere. Do come with me Righty, I would like to have a friend with me."
Righty was proud that the wizard called him his friend. "OK" he said, "but I have to tell Lefty."
"There is no time" said the wizard, "but after our adventure I will bring you back here and you can tell Lefty all about it."
Righty wasn't sure. But he looked at the wizard and could tell that he could trust him.
So he hopped through the door and joined the wizard on the magic carpet.
And what an amazing adventure they had!

The reality:
I went to a club on Friday night. Sat down on a sofa in the chillout room, took my shoes off and put them under the little table in front of me. Half an hour later, I notice one of them's missing. I assume it's been kicked away by accident.
So I look everywhere, under the sofas, other rooms, ask the club staff, even looked in the street outside the club & rang back the next day - nothing.
I ended up with a cold, soaking wet right foot by the time I got home.
All because some cunt nicked my shoe.
For a laugh.
I hope Righty's gone to a better place. I'll miss you...
