The first draft of this story was a writing exercise I posted on February 6,
2000 on the newsgroup york.fes.writers-cafe. The exercise task was: "Write a
passage of under 300 words from the perspective of an article of clothing."
At the time I was frustrated with God for having made the world like a Rube
Goldberg contraption, because I didn't share His opinion that it's a funny
joke and couldn't do anything about it. So I posed myself as a wool sock and
God as the guy who owns and wears me. I stumbled across the exercise on
Google Groups and did a bit of cleaning up and revision a few minutes ago,
and here's the result.
Exercise 25
by Miki Kocic
Copyright 2007 by Miki Kocic
My world is still spinning. At least I'm glad to be out of that dark,
endlessly moving hole. It was hot, too. I thought I would explode in flames
and kill all of the humans in the room beyond. Wool releases cyanide in its
smoke when burned. Not that I'd expect the idiot who owns me to know even
that little basic fact about me.
