Ouch! - Primeval Drabble
Jess’s worst idea that morning had been to wear her new shoes. They were Louboutins (on sale but nobody needed to know) and looked great.
And it would have been fine if the car had started. Or if she’d changed shoes before taking the tube and then a bus to work. The ARC was a long walk from the stop. Her feet were rapidly blistering.
She also shouldn’t have answered her mobile.
“Anomaly!” Lester bellowed.
Jess ran. Jess tripped. A stylish heel snapped. Bloodied blisters burst. People stared unsympathetically.
“Ouch?” she attempted, getting up and limping onwards. Anomalies didn’t wait.
