Sole-mate

My name is Right Shoe
I am a right shoe - Nike BRS 1000/Tri-Vis. I lost my "sole" mate on Saturday at the park. His name was Left Shoe.

You see, my owner, Left Shoe, and I were running together, and as we were running, Left Shoe, my partner of one year, went flying away. I knew this would happen, I tried to tell my owner to tie us better, but he just wouldn't listen. (My owner has been learning how to speak Shoe, but talking to him is mostly like talking to a brick wall)

Left Shoe and I have been inseparable these past months of hard training, ever since we got identical Made In China tattoos. It's like we were made for each other; we were even the same size & color, and we enjoyed the same activities. We traveled everywhere together.

Some people say Left Shoe jumped on purpose. Sure, we weren't in our prime anymore; Left Shoe especially got a lot of comments about being tattered and over the hill. But I know Left Shoe and he wouldn't do that to me. It was a bad day for Left Shoe because in the morning he stepped in gum, and then later he stepped in an unknown dog substance. But he was fine, and was excited to go running that day.

I really miss Left Shoe. I've come to terms with the fact that I may never see him again. But I really just want to know what happened to Left Shoe... Did he land in a puddle of mud? or did the winds carry him out the track? or maybe he burned up on re-entry in a blazing fireball of glory.

If you know anything about what happened to Left Shoe, please contact me. I know I can't hope that Left Shoe is still alive, but I just want to know what became of Left Shoe...

All my thoughts & prayers,

Right Shoe
