I didn't realize it was happening, to be honest. Well, no, I - I guess it's more accurate to say I didn't realize its severity. I didn't understand the speed at which I was launching, the strength with which I was gripping the grocery bags. I didn't notice my knee twisting, my left hand uselessly groping the air.
All I knew was that the stairwell had shifted unexpectedly. Walled frames had someh...

*"It was the style back then."
"You sure? It's sleeveless."
*"All the honeys loved me."
"If you say so... And this? It's a-"
*"Fur tutu."
Nose flare. "I assume there's a story behind this."
*"You asked for inspiration, so here it is."
Shrug.
*"Ah! Yes. Handle that one with care. It's the world's tiniest banjo."
