The Echoes of a Supreme Lie

The most unsettling sound is the sound of work shoes pounding on a hardwood floor. It's a sound that may harbor a hug or violence the sound of authority and mundane chores it's the sound of fatigue and routine a sound without middle ground. I grew up in dwellings where it was rule to take our shoes off in the mud room... So, all the footfalls sounded the same cotton feet whispering - unthreatening soft footsteps can harbor the echoes of a supreme flavor of deception.
