Oh hey, turns out I do have a pair of rain boots. They were under my desk; I guess my parents sent them to me at some point? There was a spider in one of them.

I got a slouch date - hope you're ready to pay for some soup, Pansy!

Yeah, one that's spitting up stuff in my shoes.

Just a ton of ear wax that's definitely not yours.

an honor

a tiny toy you thought you lost when you were 7

[tater_tot]

I guess it's not not an honor.

I feel like I'd get mixed emotions from that one. Sadness, creeped-out-ness, maybe some foot pain.

Hagfish slime.

[lucillefer]

maybe it's the owl's way of saying you've been Chosen

true disgust has spiritual and emotional layers

[....]
a bag of expired milk from darkest canada

[tater_tot]

That's a nice way to look at it. I wouldn't mind it so much, then.

Man, I don't think I've ever been spiritually disgusted.

Lumpy milk is absolutely worse in a bag vs. a carton.

Any organ.

[lucillefer]

i didn't say for what

it's hard to know whether to call you lucky or unobservant

especially Just Skin

[...]
are all these things worse if someone put them there
or if there's no explanation

[tater_tot]

Being chosen sounds pretty good, even if it's for something kind of bad.

Shoe full of skin is definitely Bad.

[....]

I feel like it's worse if there's no explanation. Is a random mob boss after you? Are there just really angry milk ghosts about? The unknown is significantly more stressful.

[lucillefer]

i guess that's why you're here in the first place

[...]

if you really know nothing
the amount of potential explanations is boundless

[tater_tot]

I like being chosen so I don't have to decide what to do.

Oh yeah, for sure. You'd talk yourself into all sorts of weird explanations.

There should be a horror anthology of 'weird stuff in your shoe.'

laziness disguised as trust in the universe

a mind can make a heaven of hell
a hell of heaven
etc

let's make a zine

[tater_tot]

A painfully accurate description of me, yes.

It's going to be hard to pick what to feature in the zine, but we can do it.

What if the skin you find in your shoes is your skin from the future?

[lucillefer]

believe it or not i have very discerning taste

[...] then i hope it's still soft at least

what if it was yours but it had a tattoo that said "hello tate"
?

[tater_tot]

I trust you entirely.

Would it be an old tattoo or would it be one that whoever left my skin in my shoes added to it?

[lucillefer]

that's the whole mystery
