My Shoe is in Orbit

I like to experiment with different genres, but my heart will always belong to the humor and satire genre.

I don’t know how it got there. I don’t know if it’s coming back down. If it does, I hope it’s in a semi-populated area, because that would make one hell of a story.

I wonder why only the one shoe made it. Did it go up with its twin, only to succeed there its other failed?

What is the process by which a shoe enters orbit? Did some stylish astronaut want to do a literal moonwalk and forgot about that little gravity issue?

Was it a secret government operative kicking a little alien butt? (Do aliens even have butts? And are they sufficiently kickable?)

Or did my shoe achieve orbit of it’s own accord?

Where am I going with all of this? Am I just rambling because I drank an energy drink and am hopped up on enough caffeine and chemicals to down a horse? Probably.

But t hat still doesn’t explain why my shoe is in orbit…
