STRANGE CASE OF THE EMPTY SHOES

Submitted by Editor on

How to explain this, spotted two days ago at the end of Iona Street? 

The news has grown increasingly weird over recent years, but this is probably not evidence of an alien abduction. 

Coronavirus has brought out the worst and best in people over the last few weeks, but this is probably not a sign that revellers attending illegal raves are taking off their shoes so as not to disturb residents on the way home.

It is spring, and all manner of amorous cats, foxes, and oversexed others are failing to self-isolate … noisily. But these shoes have probably not been thrown by frustrated neighbours woken in the night.

Ann Beattie presents alternative explanations in the New Yorker, 1 October 2018, HERE. Your ideas welcome.
