But I take it as a metaphor, maybe you did too, in some way; it's like trying to fit into your own shoes when you don't feel like yourself at all, at your best, and when in the end all is good, suddenly the shoes fit. I may be rambling.

Your writing is good stuff, whether you take on serious issues, like choosing between love and food in a post-apocalypse world (that story still lingers in my mind, by the way), or something as simple as finding love in a size 9. Either way, I always enjoy coming to your blog each week. It's usually my first stop.

The woman seemed to fit in as well. I'm glad the night worked out for his feet and his love life. And while the feet may return to normal, I hope his love life stays on course. A sweet story, Steve. I always enjoy how you bring the characters to life by the way they talk or tell the story.
