A memento of a night I may never remember. It's not my sock, but I was wearing its twin when I regained consciousness this morning. I crawled woozily from under the bench where my blackout self had left my body parked for the night. And there it was, a single black sock. I was confused. More confused when I realized I was wearing the other black sock. I don't own any black socks. I will solve this mystery later, I thought. First I need to pee and I need water immediately. I find my keys and.... this isn't my house.
