MLMM: Red Shoes

Photo Credit – Zwobel

I was so in love with her. She wore dark red shoes and matching lipstick that was mmm amazingly sexy.

Her laugh made me blush, she was so incredibly beautiful. I knew right then and there that she was the one I had always wanted and would always want for the rest of my life.  I knew she felt the same way about me.

My heart swelled with love for her. I wanted to marry her, have lots of kids, a huge house, a dog, and an SUV.

Then I awoke.  The heat was overbearing through the plastic curtains covering my window.  I was a 40-year-old single man who owned just a bicycle for transportation.  Imprisoned in small-town America and working two jobs, I had no romantic prospects. Despair and sleep were my only friends.
