Neatly on the Bank
When they found Rory’s car by the lake, it was as if it had floated from the sky and nestled gently around the trunk of the grandest, oldest tree in town. The night sighed, a soft warm hush, and the fallen leaves around the base of the big oak had a shimmer about them, as if they were fallen stars, still breathing, still burning. The rescue team searched the whole area, but there was no broken glass, no blood, no body; only a pair of trainers placed neatly on the bank, laces tied, toes pointing toward the deep dark water.

Oh, no. Good ending.
Old-Fashioned Ways
Esby held her AI’s hand as they walked the museum. She listened as Rosi expounded. “It’s interesting how culture changes.” Esby said. AI smiled and nodded her head. With a gasp, Esby stopped. “What is that?” she asked. Her companion replied, “A shoe. Rubber soled shoes, sneakers, were introduced in the late 1800’s and were fashionable into the 2000’s.” Esby shook her head. “Yes, but those strings? Did they tie them on? Every time? And so clunky! She looked at her own feet clad in form-fitting skin she peeled off every night.” How strange to have lived then, she sighed.”
So Good!!!!
