In Which I go to town to see Marty Supreme: quite a movie!

Good morning, my dear friend, dear reader of this post, you fine lady, you fine gentleman! Cheers! How are you? Hope you are okay? It has been a week that went by faster than one would expect! I was wanting to write a post earlier than now, and I had a draft, but it was getting too big, and too many threads of thinking going into it, and it would be far out of the scope of a blog post to cover all that I was loosely writing about, it was too big and tiresome to read, too hard to find a finishing line, so I did what I don't usually do and scrapped the whole post, not an easy nor a decision I took lightly, but it was needed, or else the post would just keep dragging on. That said, I am okay. Monday I was pretty melancholic, so this Tuesday I could go to the movies, for the first time since The Phoenician Scheme, which was a good excuse to get out of the house, though the movie disappointed.  I went to the movies, got my ice cream, then popcorn, and also bought a bottle of eau de toil...

The Adventures of Mr D'Onofrio and his suitcase with 700 socks! Chapter 17

 “HALT! WHO COMES THERE?” Said the man, dressed in a fancy military uniform.

“Greetings. I am Zachary D’Onofrio, and this is Adelaide Forster. We’re heading to the Land of Socks”

“And where do you, lady and Gentleman, come from?”

“I am from the major City of Small People, from the woods”

“And I come from faraway lands and I come to see the Land of socks”

“I see, I must take note on the people that come in and come out, since the number of visitors from this area of the woods is scarce and may be suspicious, just as a matter of protocol, though, the Land of Socks is an open place for travelers such as yourselves”

“Is the Land of Socks close?” Asked Zach, barely hiding his enthusiasm”

“You’re stepping on it, just sign these book, and keep on walking, our Capital is close”

Zach and Adelaide could barely believe it; they have reached their destination, the Land of Socks. Zach was shaking when signing his name on the paper, and Adelaide was smiling wide-open. After the sentinel granted them right of passage, they started to run, happy, to their place, the trees were orange on the land of socks, the grass was a bit orange too, the sky kept on getting darker as the sun was going down and the moon was taking his place, and yet they were shining of joy. When they saw the first home, that had beautiful socks in its window, Zach felt like in a dream. They soon realized that this house was just the beginning, as they walked, one become dozen, and dozen become the capital of the Land. Zach was there.

He and Adelaide knock on a door, timidly, but also excitingly. The people that opened it were kind, and let them in with no further problems. Zach sang for them with an even more powerful energy while Adelaide was having dinner. They soon repeated the procedure, until Zach even started to get famous in the city, just a few hours after arriving. He was on his personal paradise.
