Heavy Metal Sunshine Blues

“It’s those shoes you wore. Anything less made for torture, I’ve never found. It’s a wonder you can still walk.”


“Brigitte was insistent that we wear a certain style of shoe, and the only pair available was a half-size too small.”


“I know, love, and you were a trooper to survive so long. Tomorrow, we’ll hold a ceremony to burn them together, okay?”

“I love you, too, Sonny Bonhomie. You light up my life like no other.”
