Walking down the stars in the parking garage near where I work this morning, I came upon a lonely pair of shoes on the stair landing between floors. Odd I thought. Could it be that someone walked half way up the stairs took off their shoes and traveled on? Or could something more insidious have happened, perhaps a ray gun evaporated him leaving nothing but his shoes as evidence of his existence. Maybe he was not gone at all, just invisible. It was cold this morning so possibly being naked and invisible he decided to risk being seen by putting on shoes so his feet would not get cold. I took the picture, but I did not wave my hand over the shoes, so he could have been there, standing still waiting for me to pass. Maybe someone scared him and he literally jumped out of his shoes. It could happen. I did look around, but saw no one hiding or running without proper foot gear. I once had a philosophy professor threaten to stop thinking about us, which would in turn, make us cease to exist, could these shoes belong to a student of a mad philosophy professor?
Eh, they were just shoes.
