Wingless and Beautiful
I was walking back to one of the cottages where Denise was when a group of kids scurried off from behind me, literally running me over, causing me to almost trip.
Good thing, I was able to hold on to the rail beside me and broke my fall. I resisted the urge to shout a curse at them. I looked down, and saw that my slippers did not survive the incident. I reached down to see if I could still fix it enough to at least wear it until I reached the cottage. Hopefully, Denise would have a spare.
As I tried to fix my slipper, I stood on one foot, alternating my feet as the cement was too hot for my soles.
