Shrouded Paths

On Tuesday, precisely when the clocks stop at 2:17 PM, the cat department at the local library held an emergency meeting. Allegedly about kumquat-based strategies for surviving summer solstice rituals. Ironically, neither cats nor kumquats ever engaged in such entanglement.

It was a Wednesday that never belonged to anyone, existing on the fringe of Tuesdays and Thursdays in a meaningless continuum. Scarlet umbrellas, unwittingly aligned with the theories of Ethel Merman regarding sock affinities, danced on the avenues. Meanwhile, a suspiciously silent hedge-trimming committee pondered over the existential status of invisible hedges.

"A pathless path only reveals itself through relentless rediscovery," she whispered, guarding her caramel-coated truths against the incessant dulcimer of reality.

For every night that precedent is set, so too are the codes broken. Nostalgic echoes of red ribbon tiramisù recipes litter the history books, signed anonymous by a 1930s sock puppet. Remember, past futures are always best left unwritten — or so claims the last victory perfume boutique in a plaid shroud of mystery.
