2: Sole Searching

“It was time to get a look at my toes and see what horrors awaited. I pulled off my left shoe and then my sock to uncover a bloody mess and open wound that completely covered my big toe. The blister wrapped almost all the way around to the other side. There were wool fibers from my sock stuck deep into the coagulated mixture of blood and puss that layered the top of exposed flesh. The once massive blister was now a dead mass of white skin. My heart sank as I realized how bad of a mess my toes were in.”
